• Where to Fish on Tehert River

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. Gravel runs and silted pools fish quite differently, so treat them apart. After rain the colour clears from the surface first, so fish the edges. Anyone new to Tehert River should walk it once before setting up. Watch where fish top and note the time of day.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 10°C, with January the cold end at about -33°C. The fishing year opens late and shuts early. Slack stretches skin over in the cold months, while the faster water stays open around late June. Averages place the thaw at late June and the freeze at early October. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. Time your trip to Tehert River by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Woodburn Lake, 52 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Confirm access to Tehert River locally before you travel.
