Productive fishing can be found where the stream's gradient slows, creating deeper pools and undercut banks that provide cover for trout. Confluences where smaller tributaries enter the main stream often create ideal holding water. The areas downstream of rapids or fast riffles, where food is funneled into slower, oxygenated pools, are also prime locations to target.
