Fish in smaller rivers and creeks rely on the current to bring food to them. Trout lying in a deep hole, catfish below an undercut and even a bluegill or crappie on the edge of rip-rap are all waiting for insects, fish and water-borne scents to drift their way. Take advantage of fish using the current by dropping your bait upstream of holes and laydowns and letting it drift naturally down into the cover. You don't need to control the drift. Fish are very aware of where the bait will be riding the current and know ahead of time where it will connect with the cover.
