Do the sandbar areas change a bit after the winter thaw or flooding? I know many creeks tend to shift with the flow of the water and erosion.
Imo if they do then it leads me to think he had already checked out the creek in case an opportunity arose.
Yeah, they do to an extent. They never look exactly the same. They change shape due to water flow and sometimes some of the sandbars are more exposed than others. If you know where they are, though, it can make crossing the creek easier because even if they're completely submerged they're still there and you know that part of the crossing isn't going to be as deep.
