trout stream
Fly-fishing flowing water
A trout stream is a cold, clean waterway suitable for trout habitat—typically a creek or small river with good oxygen levels and moderate current.
The term evokes fly fishing and wilderness recreation: We spent the weekend camping along a trout stream in Montana.
Conservation efforts often focus on protecting trout streams as indicators of water quality.
