Coldwater River

Hey i know people fish for salmon in there, is that the only fish in there, or can you catch cats and others?

Bows are in there now but not in any decent numbers, lots of wood, bring a ton of hooks, re-tie every 10 drifts or so. we catch cats in there in may/june but you have to know where to go and preffered if you have a boat. some pike to be had, also prefer if u have boat and i wouldnt be surprised if some largies were around in summer. difficult accessing the river but in town its best for salmon/trout.

 

hope this helps

Sounds pretty cool, except i dont have a boat, ive fished from the main peir in coldwater but that was for salmon when everyone was there. im just gonna have to find a spot away from the town that is accessible by foot. Thanks for the reply

Upper reaches have excellent brook trout fishing, around the 400, you need a topo to find the pools

Just down from that pier you fish, there is a lot of public access( sorta a small park area I guess )right in town. It's across from the hardware store, I believe. Anyhoo, try drifting there for some bows. You won't even need waders, let alone a boat. Goodluck.

 

Oh, and down the road at the Gas Station / Variety Store there was some public access too.
