hey this is what one guy said! what you think?
A channel break is an abrupt depth change where a river or creek bed originally existed before it was flooded. It is the most distinct and best form of structure where it is a sudden depth change.
Think of it like this.....you have a creek behind your house and know what the actual creek bank is where high water has eroded it over the years because you can see it. Now imagine a beaver building a dam downstream causing the water to back up upstream of it and flooding the field or yard behind your house. That creek bank is now totally underwater and water has spread many yards past it into the field. That once actual creek bank is your channel break, you just can't visually see it. This is what happens in our lakes when they are dammed up.
