The following is not going to change the face of fishing, but it is a question I get asked very regularly.
Which side of a river or stream is the right side?
The right bank or side is always on the right side of the direction in which the water is flowing ie facing downstream, and the left bank is always the left hand side facing downsteam.
This is usually called the ‘true’ right bank or true left bank. True river sides are not just used in fishing, all outdoors activties use the same appellation to avoid confusion.
