Question about current and spawning

Are these bass (LM or SM) hanging in areas with no current, little current or what? I’ve found that in summer current is almost certainly a requirement but right now I dont know. The riddle that I’ve been trying to solve is that bass are supposed to spawn on hard bottom areas but the only place where I can find hard bottoms are where the current blasts through an area keeping it from being silted in. If I find an area that’s protected from the current it’s always filled in with tons of silt (for example Pool 8: Target Lake and French Lake) . Obviously I’m missing something here. So far this year my few short trips out have been filled with total disgust. Thanks.

The fish fan the silt away exposing the hard bottom underneath, so areas like target, lawrence, etc. can be good areas for spawning fish. Prespawn fish often do like the current
