When selecting lures for river fishing, some common mistakes to avoid include using lures that are too large or too small for the fish species you are targeting. It's essential to match the size of the lure to the size of the fish you expect to catch. Another mistake is using the wrong color or type of lure for the water conditions. It's crucial to consider the water clarity and light conditions when choosing lure colors. Additionally, not varying the retrieval speed or pattern can also be a mistake. Fish in rivers can be selective, so it's essential to experiment with different retrieval speeds and techniques to entice strikes. Lastly, using noisy or flashy lures in clear and calm waters can spook fish. It's important to adapt your lure choice to the specific conditions of the river you are fishing in.
