Streams make noise, lakes don't. I like the noise. However, I'm in the area where most running water is served with a casino. I'm only able to get to a good stream once a year, because of economics. The rest of my time spent on lakes, while not without a few fish, seems to be too narrow a venue for the sport.
My preference is streams merely because I desire more time on them.
