There have been quite a few requests lately from new members about reading the water.
We've gone over the basics, but in different threads.
There are some great books out there, among them John Skinner's, to name a few.
On the internet, there are some all-time best threads on this subject. Poppy's "reading the water" comes to mind as one that's very good because it has pics of the water to illustrate what he's talking about.
I threw up this thread to help the new guys learn more effectively. I'll fill these in when I get a chance. I'll try to post up some more interesting stuff and pics when I can.
Anyone else wants to post up some of the stuff they learned, feel free, and thanks.
