Here in Indiana, when it's steelhead time in the creeks, I've noticed that the majority of the fishermen are working the pools and bends, while I've always had my best successes working the riffles.
Sure, there's more fish in the pools than the riffles, but generally the fish in or near the riffles are actively aggressive fish, while the fish in the pools are staging up, or resting and conserving energy before they begin to make another forward surge up the creeks.
