An upstream pole is held in place by the current, and downstream it is trying to lift the pole - especially if the pole floats.... like wood does, for example.

A walking pole held and used UPSTREAM of you is very handy - I have a length of Manuka I use when going up the Waipakihi. Leave it in the bush when I finish in the river, and pick it up on the way...
