Also learn to read the water. Old adage "90% of the trout are in 10% of the water is pretty accurate. Think of the main flow of current where its strongest as a conveyor belt of food. They won't be in it unless there is current breaks in it but they won't be too far from it.
The really big trout in there are another completely different game. It's like trophy deer hunting takes time spent, thinking outside the box, dedication to a ghost and seeing one is a victory not necessarily catching it.
People may say, well I caught a 20" or 25" the other day... I am not talking about those in the river. Those are lil ones. I am speaking to 30"+ bows n browns.
