How to Read Water
Drift Fishing Secrets, Top Fishing Secrets.


Fishing a pool is one of the essential holds that many species of fish are found. The ability to "Read" water makes this hold very easy to find. The most popular reaches that produce fish are: Eddies, Drop-offs, Undercuts, Slots, Seams, Riffles, Tail-outs, and Tributaries. If you take into account the entire length and breadth of the system you want to fish you could easily dismiss 80 percent of the water. All species of fish will go to the path of least resistance and that's where Reading water becomes a critical element to a successful fishing trip. It's true that an angler can cast out anywhere but why lean to luck. Luck is a four-letter word.

Fly Fishing & Drift-Fishing

Fly Fishing is Drift Fishing! All these fishing techniques involve drift-fishing methods: Flies, Buggers, Corkies, and Baits all catch fish. It's water color, depth, speed, and casting ranges that differ. Combinations of water types dictate what fishing methods to employ. Reading water allows anglers to streamline fishing efforts and that translates into more bites and less probing reaches. Reading water is incredibly easy when you know subtle nuances that make ideal holding water, and it doesn’t matter how clear or turbid the water is; it’s easy to find fish. Anglers can expect to see “fish sign” in water that has zero visibility and what it takes to get them to snap at offerings using their other senses. Fly fishermen will especially find specific surface-water locations helpful in locating pressured, stressed, species of fish. The full dynamic of reading water is carefully laid out in my book “Steelhead & Salmon Drift-Fishing Secrets”, which addresses every type of hold fish swim to, in, and around.
