When fishing in a river with a strong current, it's important to use the right equipment and techniques. One of the most important things to keep in mind is to use a heavier weight than you would normally use in calm water. This will help keep your bait on the bottom where the fish are more likely to be. It's also important to fish in areas where the current is slower, such as behind rocks or in eddies. Finally, it's important to be patient and persistent, as fishing in a strong current can be challenging but also rewarding.
