Im pretty new to fly fishing but this winter i have decided to focus on my nymphing skills because, well, I have no choice Ive been doing my research and the issue of water hydraulics interest me. My question is If i were to dead drift, is there any way to reasonably hypothesize the range of slow water flowing aroun a structure. Any rules of thumb or generalities in estimating where to keep a dead drifting fly just out of the swifter current but still holding close to the bottom and ultimately where fish actually are (or the dead water around rocks and other structure). Looking at a swift run is intimidating because you know from the pros and the experienced anglers there is dead water around structure but it is just hard to believe, does faster water make that dead water area smaller? This is not takign into consideration the issue drag and mending adjustments to keep a fly within that zone, just predicting the zone itself around different types of structure and possibly different types of bottoms?
