The approach
Start with the right question.
Plan safe positioning first, then test windblown or sheltered structure as warranted.
In practice
Make it useful on the water.
Keep track of actual current and wind direction, not only the forecast.
Keep learning
Connect the dots.
Use this guide as a starting point, then compare it with the water you're fishing, the tackle you're using, and your own observations. Good fishing knowledge grows through real practice.
