Larousse gives 'canal o ranura' for corredera
Given the fact that dorado like to swim beneath floating seaweed, it seems more likely that they would be found in deeper water rather than in riffles

over 600.000 references to riffles on google.

Riffles are the shallower, faster moving sections of a stream. Look for areas with a fast current where rocks break the water surface. That's a riffle.
Riffles are important to fish habitat. As water rushes over the rocks it adds oxygen to the water. Insects that live in the water need oxygen, so they like to live in the riffles. Fish can find food to eat in riffles.
