Productive fishing spots are found where structure creates current breaks and feeding lanes. Target areas where fallen timber, rock bars, or undercut banks provide cover. Deep pools, especially those located at the bottom of riffles or near the confluence of smaller tributaries, consistently hold fish. The tails of pools, where shallow water transitions to deeper runs, are excellent spots to find actively feeding fish.
