As you enter the bend, curving in the opposite direction, or in other words, to the right, you can count quite confidently on finding deep water as soon as the bend begins. It also happens on many occasions that that deep water will extend far up along the left bank of the river. In other words, where the river is curving to the right, the deep water will be in that bend along the left bank of the river, and that deep water will of ten extend far up into the straight reach.

The main flow of the river in that upper bend curing |
