Fishing fast moving water (beginner's question)

Hi all,

I've only been fly fishing once before, so I'm still trying to figure out what types of water are going to hold fish.

Will fast moving water hold trout? I went to a place called Sugar Hollow, and I didn't see anyone fishing there, and I didn't see any fish there (maybe because the water was moving too fast for it to them to be visible), so I'm wondering if these areas of fast moving waters will hold many fish, or if I should just skip them and go to the pools of water or areas of slower moving water. When I say the water's fast, I mean the rushing of the water is pretty loud and my fly floats down river maybe 1ft per second (maybe? i'm kinda bad at estimating it). Also, the place where I'm fishing is very rocky.

Can someone help me out?

Thanks in advance,
jbu
