Productive areas are typically associated with changes in river structure. Confluences with smaller tributaries and streams often create current seams and eddies that hold fish. Areas with submerged logs, fallen trees, and undercut banks provide cover for ambush predators like peacock bass and catfish. The deeper pools and channels are prime locations for targeting larger specimens of Redtail catfish and Vampire fish.
