I regularly fish the trout stream that flows right behind my house; it's a nice little stream that provides brown trout and sea run browns as well as salmon. It's not the best stream in the area, but it's a so close by that it allows me to have a rod in hand pretty much daily. It's my stream and i like it a lot even though there a better streams around.
I drive about 30 km (19 miles) a couple of times a week to fish some of the more productive waters - but there is something about my home stream (which I have pretty much all to myself) that has made me fall in love with it. I have come to know it very well over the last two years and pretty much never walk away from it fishless.
