I understand the fish move to deeper water; why is this as water temp should be consistant through out the river therefore why would they move to deeper water? I could understand that using up less energy in cold water against the current would be advantageous, but what about sheltered areas in the shallows where they can be holed up out of the flow. Should I rethink location in winter completely or just look for the more sheltered spots in the usual summer locations.

It is not that they look for deeper water, more that they look for slower , water, throw in a feature, and thats a good swim. I would'nt fish the slacks except for Chub or in very cold conditons when after a week or two they might feed. Cookie I'll be back.
