Reading Water

Scenario:

First time on this waterway.

Tell me where the prime lays are?

Map the bottom for me and tell me why you think it lays like that.

You say you can't see the bottom so you don't know?

There are ways of getting around that.

I would say, a good spot is the place between the little "laguna" in the middle of the picture, and the faster stream.
I think the fish are there because the stream is carrying the food for the fish and they can save power while waiting in the slower water in the laguna. So they only have to wait for the food.

Am I right?^^

ps: sorry for wrong spelling and bad sentence structure

Maybe I would under the Overhang of the big pool. But I think, that this is more a spot for small fish. I also would try to fish in the pool over promontory on the left.

the current digs it out the corner with the tree and tree roots make good cover.

The water bounces to the other side cuts the next S on the other side. The curvature on the bank tells you that.

The little island along the fast...when water is really up high the water blows over top of it. and deposits silt and rock just on the other side....

that fast water is obviously shallow because if it was deep there would be no broken fast water.

Any lips on this waterway have great potential because of no cover. The trout need cover. Even a double in depth of the main channel is a hiding place. Those worn corner say that there is plenty of water to cut good hiding places on edge with even minimal weeds on edge.

Trout hang on the edges of broken water to be hidden and be right near the food.
