The Dive Bob LureBack Big Bite Baits Dr. In the last part of this series, we will be discussing how to find fish in river systems of all sizes using common knowledge and practical theories. This may be the most complex of the parts, because there is a lot to cover.
River fishing is more than an art.
It is an applied science and should be approached as such for an angler to increase both size and catch rate. It serves an important lesson and as a first step in locating fish in river systems acrtoss the U.S, particularly in small to medium size rivers. In larger river systems such as the Missouri, it plays a major role as well, but in my experience, structures such as wing dams and backwashes figure in just as favorably. When water meets a softer bottom, a hole or pool is typically scoured out. As the current carries sediment, it deposits it along the length of the pool, usually dropping part of it in the rear of the pool, causing a gradual increasing shallowness, which forces current over the top into a riffle.
