  North River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
North River describes the southernmost portion of the Hudson River, between the states of New Jersey and New York in the United States of America.
The origin of the name North River is generally attributed to the Dutch, in describing the names of the rivers in their American Nieuw Nederland colony as designating what is now the Hudson as the North River, the Connecticut as the "Fresh" River, and the Delaware as the South River.
In modern commercial usage, however, the North River is the part of the river from the Hudson River's mouth to approximately the "bend" where the Hudson River turns from south-southwest to south at about 30th Street in Manhattan, and near the northern boundary of Hoboken, New Jersey.

 "North Umpqua River, Oregon - Great Rivers - Angler's OnLine"
In many ways, the North Umpqua is all steelhead rivers: As it gouges a path through steep canyon walls, the North Umpqua creates every imaginable kind of steelhead water and all of it in abundance.
The magnitude of the river is impressive, not so much for the 33 miles set aside for fly fishing, but for the countless steelhead lies found through this section and for the diversity of their natures.
The North Umpqua is renowned for its treacherous wading, but an angler could spend an entire season fishing just those pools where sure footing is abundant; conversely, one could spend that same season negotiating pools where a thorough dunking is nearly as sure as the morning sun.
