The Rum River provides good fishing for smallmouth bass, northern pike, and walleye throughout its 50 miles that flow through Isanti County. The gradient in this section is low, averaging 1 foot/mile, with few rocks or hazards, making the river ideal for a scenic fishing trip.Rum River information:
