How do fish stay in the same place after a flood?

316 views

So I live near a creek and there are perch and small bass that live in various pockets of deeper water in the creek. When it rains (and floods) the whole creek is a torrent and flowing out of its banks. Yet, when the creek subsides all the fish are still there in those pockets. Where do they go during a flood? I know they’re not the fish from further up the creek because I have been to the source and there are fish up there too.

During a flood, fish in the creek find shelter in deeper pockets of water where they can stay until the water level goes down.
