I have seen conflicting studies in the amount bass move yearly in current. Some say they stay local others say they migrate downstream to deeper water. In small feeder creeks/rivers were bass have to travel 5-10 miles to get to deep water(8 ft), will they? I am in a slump fishing backwaters,but love the scenery and privacy as compared to major lakes. Just wondering if I should relocate until water temperatures come up. In other words, is it possible to catch fish in a small flowing river/creek without deep water year round?
