Current break?

[Aquaman01]

Got a question for you about current structure. I'm taking my neighbor out to a shore spot in The Missy tomorrow evening and the shore we can get to is the inside of a wide bend - the closest 20' - 30' is riffled, then it gets smooth more towards the center of the river. I didn't notice any back-currents, and structure like logs and big rocks is nil.

Q) - what's that smooth spot likely to be? faster? slower? deeper? sand? main channel?

For one, river current is strange and misleading at times. From my experience the channel should be towards the outside of the bend, but you probably know that.

I don't know man, or Aquaman. I've seen river water that has nice boils and waves and it's 18 feet deep. (Saw that on the sippi just north of Dayton) I thought it would be shallow, but I was wrong.

Maybe Turk would know.
