Chesapeake Bay Light Tackle & Fly Guide
When trying to locate active/feeding fish one very important factor to consider is current flow. This is the horizontal movement of water. It should not be confused with the tide that is the vertical movement of water (incoming/flood/high OR outgoing/ebb/low). There will be a time(s) when the current is slack during an ebb or flood tide. Try not to think that because the tide is in the process of ebbing or flooding there is always current movement at a particular location.
