I've thought long and hard and have decided it is character that makes a
great trout stream.
All things being equal, and the flow having a sound population of wild
fish, it's character-the way the stream stands on land, the way it speaks
to you when you're fishing and the way it reappears in your mind after
you've fished it that marks one stream above others.
Great trout streams are not only talked about with friends, they are
dreamed about as well.
You can argue that Spring Creek is the finest trout stream in
Pennsylvania or that there are some better streams, but you can't say
it lacks character. Spring Creek oozes character. And, along with its
sound population of wild Brown Trout and a smattering of reproducing
Rainbow Trout, character is what makes it a great trout stream.
Like most interesting figures in a novel or movie, Spring Creek also
goes through comparative changes along its 15-mile fishable length.
In this case, the changes accompany the surrounding land. Sometimes
Spring Creek feels like it's a backyard stream, because it goes through
folks' backyards; sometimes it's a woodland stream, because it goes
