If the river is moving slower than ~0.01 cm/sec, then clay may be found in the river bed. If it is slower than ~0.3 cm/sec, then silt may be found. Any faster and the clay and silt would be deposited at the mouth of the river where the velocity decreases greatly.
Some examples of silt include fine grains of sand, mud, and clay that are deposited by water or wind and typically found near river banks, deltas, and estuaries. Silt particles are larger than clay but smaller than sand.
silt means mud or clay or small rocks doposited by a river or lake
Alluvial soil is developed from silt and clay deposited by a flooding river. It is usually rich in nutrients and very fertile, making it suitable for agriculture.
Recent deposits by a river are known as alluvium, which can include a mix of rocks, gravel, sand, silt, and clay. These materials are carried by the river's current and eventually deposited along its banks or floodplains.
The three types of weathered rock particles found in soil are sand, silt, and clay. Sand particles are the largest, followed by silt, and clay particles are the smallest.

The reason many rivers contain clay is because clay particles are lighter than the small rocks and pebbles beneath, so the clay particles are deposited on top of the rocks. However clay is not lighter than silt particles, in fact clay is much heavier. Normally the silt would cover the clay, but if the river is fast enough, it may continue to carry away the silt particles, and leave the clay.
Silt

It is carried in solution so you can't see it but it is there and the water has a greater frce than griavity does on the silt/clay so that is how it stays up.

clay from the sides of the canyon the red river cut through fell into the river and turned the water red because the clay was red
