| In the Niagara river, should I troll with the current or against it ? Does it matter ? |

|
| Just a suggestion: river fish are frequently stationed facing the current. It seems logical, therefore, that one would troll in the direction of the current; or cross-wise in its direction. |

| I second what Swan has stated. I believe several Musky Hunter articles on trolling and river fishing also state that they have had more success trolling and casting with the current then against it. I do not readily know the issues those articles were in though. |

Location: Detroit River | You can do both but going with the current will get you more strikes. If that doesn't work for you then you could always try jigging some Bondy baits.  One of these days I'm going to fish the Niagra for musky. |

| The river has some kind of sticky mossy weed come mid summer. You get less on your Radtke lure when you go with the current. The hardcore guys wait until late Fall when they die off and the big ones are still lurking in the river and haven't moved to the lake yet. |

Location: Eau Claire,WI | I get more fish trolling up current. I think I have better depth and speed control. |
