By that I mean areas that have remained productive over a number of years for whatever species.
I have known a number of swims/areas that would easily qualify over the years. And surprisingly they hold no special feature that would have you thinking ''oh yes this is a winner'', and yet the fish seem to favour them often for many seasons.
You could argue, this being a consequence of anglers often feeding the swim and holding them. There may be some truth to this, but I have in my minds eye a number where that does not apply.
So we are talking structural features or a source of natural food. Whatever the reason, I am grateful of their existence.
