Rivière du Nord is a freestone river flowing through the Laurentian region of Quebec, Canada, offering anglers a diverse and rewarding freshwater fishing experience. The river winds through a landscape shaped by the Canadian Shield, passing through communities including the La Rivière-du-Nord regional county municipality and the Argenteuil area near Lachute. With its varied structure — ranging from swift riffles and pocket water to deeper pools and slower runs — the river supports a healthy mix of warmwater and coolwater species that attract both local and visiting anglers throughout the open-water season.

The stretch of river near Lachute in the Argenteuil area is well regarded for smallmouth bass, walleye, and rock bass. The Parc Régional de la Rivière du Nord sector near Saint-Jérôme is a recognized fishing and fly fishing destination, offering accessible water with varied structure. Rocky runs, pool tailouts, and the edges of deeper pools throughout the river's length consistently hold fish. Current seams where faster water meets slower pools are reliable holding spots for smallmouth and walleye alike. Slower, weedier backwater areas and bays along the river corridor tend to concentrate northern pike and yellow perch.
