I just love high mountain meadow basins, but it could just be that I like the scenery. Low gradient streams that are from 2 to 12 ft wide, undercut banks and no trees to be caught up in. That and brookies that you are encouraged to eat. Also, native cutthroat are spectacular looking fish (almost as pretty as brookies).
These are not pocket water streams, getting a good drift over 6 ft makes a difference, but watching the fish position itself and sip the fly really gets me every time. Everything works in slow motion like on a spring creek, but the fish are not quite as spooky.

I haven't experienced nearly as many types of trout streams as a lot of folks have, but my favorite are probably the SNP streams that require a hike that would deter most Americans. I just like the adventure of it --Gene

Similar would be a spring creek that drops over a bit of elevation. That's why the Metolius River is a bucket list destination for me.Additionally, a tailwater like the South Holston is pretty awesome, because you can wade the whole way across when they're not generating power, there are ample hatches, and lots of different types of water to explore. I sometimes describe the South Holston as a 100 yard-wide spring creek.--To view this discussion on the web visit https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/tidal-potomac-fly-rodders/a6a20c91-b811-4140-91f4-30233c578b9a%40googlegroups.com.
