Help finding fish?

I recently found some public access to Paint Creek and found an awesome spot. It looks way to good to not have fish. There is a deep pool which then leads to a nice little riffle. Below the riffle is fairly nice current and about 3-5 feet of water. I would be happy catching anything, how would you approach the area to find the fish?

It is a beautiful stream, unfortunately ( maybe fortunately) access is pretty limited. That's were I learned how to throw rocks, catch crawdads, climb trees and somehow even a little about fishing. :)
Lotta good memories fishing there with my father, my dad grew up in that area and seemed to know every inch of the n- frk and the main crk from Greefield to the Sciotio rv.

Garhtr hit the nail on the head... just use a hook with a nightcrawler or minnow and a few small splitshot weights above it. it is a terrific way to find out whats in there...and a lotta fun!

Another thing to remember... If there is deeper water, even with a few hundred yards up or down stream…or even Half a mile up or downstream..You might be hard-pressed to find fish in the spot you are at during the winter
