Productive areas are often found near significant underwater structure. Deep pools, especially those adjacent to rocky outcrops or with substantial submerged timber, are prime locations for Murray cod. Undercut banks along bends in the creek provide cover for both cod and golden perch. Areas downstream of riffles or small rapids, where the current slows and forms deeper runs, are also excellent spots to target.
