Reading Water
Many factors go in to reading.
Time of year.
Water temperature
the sun's position
the lay of the water below and above the structure.
Look at this photo and lets hear your "Where is elmo"
Give reasons from photo.

Re: Reading Water
Based on shadows... I would suspect the sun is to the right side of the creek... There for I would expect the fish to sit in the shadow to the left of the structure that is in center of stream.
How did I do Len?

Re: Reading Water
I always look at the stream just above where I want to fish.
I look at the turns and bends. The bends above are a dead give away
of where the undercuts and step drops will be. The spring floods carve
these streams out about the same way each spring.
The slants of the banks are good indicators on where the depth will be.
The structure just a bonus and also fine tunes the approach.
PS: There are some better answers than others.
