That's one assumption that is correct. Except when they are moving and not settled in feeding of course. It would be hard for them to hold position with their tail into the wind.
In steady heavy water they hardly have to even move thier tail. They look like birds hovering in the air on a windy day. Thir body shape and pectorals create enough lift for them to hold position without kicking the tail very often. The bigger the fish the happier they are hanging in fast water. Did someone call big fish lazy? I prefer to call them smart and well adjusted.
