The Current River also offers world-renowned fishing year round. Catch everything from Trout, Goggle Eye, and Perch to Small Mouth Bass. HOW THE CURRENT RIVER GOT ITS NAME Many names come from the early French explorers and trappers in the area. The trappers placed their traps in "La Riviere Courant," the "Running River."
