Piggy backing off of what TNBrozeback said, think of the main river channel as an interstate, creek channel as a main road the secondary creek channels and ditches as side streets to neighborhoods. Fish will move from the interstates to the neighborhoods to spawn then travel the same routes back out like you would. Most don't jump from neighborhood onto the interstate. Rocks, points, brush are all resting/ambush points along the route. You just have to find out where they are in travel.
This is not iron clad. OH has fish shallow all year even in cold weather. But typically fish winter in deep water usually main river channel areas and spawn shallow. They have to be somewhere in between.
