Trout Hiding Places: where to find them
This is the one real reason why trout fishing became so popular. Unlike a lake, fish in a stream are really limited to where they can go. I mean, trout can travel up and down a river or stream with ease, but most rivers are not that wide. This really tends to limit the places in which they can hide. So, if you know what and where to look for them, then productive trout fishing can be quite simple. They really do not have a place to hide when you know what to look for.
Because trout live in a moving body of water, they are limited when it comes to food sources. In other words, whatever comes floating down the river that day is what they will eat. Trout are found in deep holes most of the time. There are several advantages associated with hanging around in deep pools of water. For starters, they have more room to escape from predators. In shallow waters, predatory birds can pick them out of the water with ease. Also, deep water is usually slow moving which gives them more 
time to look at the food that is passing by.
One of the best places to find out where the trout are hiding is behind rocks. When moving water confronts a rock it cannot go straight through it. The water peels off both sides and then meets back up a few feet behind the rock. So those few feet behind the rock will be a placid, slow moving section of water. Trout love to hide out in these little areas because they want to take a break from resisting the fast water.
