Wade Bourne: I like to think of current as liquid wind, as in movement of water that blows baitfish into predictable locations.

Wind-driven current allows predator fish to stack up in predictable areas. They like to go where they know the baitfish will be going into the current.

Fish like to hold close to current, right along the edges waiting for the bait fish to float on by. You always want to cast up-current and bring your bait back with the flow. If you cast upstream and retrieve your bait downstream, that is the natural presentation for the fish.
