How you choose to approach the fish is the first essential factor you
should take into account to prepare for successfully increasing your odds of
hooking fish in a river. Then apply all
the rest of your strategies to hook up with fish.
You should consider and decide the angle of approach first. When walking along side the river edge walk gently and stay back from the edge. After you locate a likely lie, than take the time to figure the correct approach.
In considering this, the action is to study the terrain of the edge and in the river basin. Is there a tree, rock, bush, stump, etc. from which to hide by? When along the edge use the cover that is there like the trees, bushes, rocks to hide. If you are in the middle of the stream, rocks and staying low to the water is your best bet.
Besides having a stealthy approach, also consider the best angle to cast to the fish. Make sure to allow the time necessary for this, as it is the next step in the approach to consider. Look, the fish are not going anywhere in the stream for the most part. They typically are in a position most of the time for feeding or cover. Remember the first cast largely impacts the strike, and every subsequent cast reduces the possibility of enticing the bite and typically spooks the fish. Now, there are times when one can prove this rule wrong, but in the end, your catch rate will go up if you stay stealthy and plan your first cast.
