The low water predation scenario shows the importance of good cover for trout. A place they can hide under.
Look at the hiding places on a stream flowing through fairly natural forested floodplain:
1) Under undercut tree roots along the bank.
2) Under leaning tree.
3) Under fallen tree. (large woody debris)
4) Under logjam. (large woody debris)
Now look at the hiding spots on a stream with groomed lawns on both sides:
