From the book, North American Fishing*,
"In a general sense, you locate fish by evaluating the place that you are fishing, watching water conditions to determine where fish may be and how to present lures or bait to them. This is referred to in a general way as "reading water," and is done in all types of environments, especially in freshwater. It is sometimes easier in rivers than in still waters (ponds, lakes and reservoirs) because many elements are more obvious. For example, in current, any kind of sizable obstruction (boulder, bridge footing, pier, etc.) creates a slack pocket where fish can lie without exerting much effort and watch for food; these are readily located."
