Productive areas are typically associated with changes in habitat. Deep pools below riffles are prime lies for bass and perch. Anywhere submerged timber, rock bars, or undercut clay banks create cover and ambush points is worth thorough prospecting. Confluences with smaller tributaries often create scour holes that hold fish. The slower, deeper sections in the lower creek, particularly those with overhanging vegetation, are excellent for surface presentations on still summer evenings.
