I fish most for trout in small (10-20 feet width) streams and try to stay on the bank except when I must get in the water to make the cast, as for example when the brush is hanging over the bank. As a result, most casts I make are roll casts.

Almost all other anglers I see are standing in the middle of the stream.

My question: Where do you prefer to position yourself on small streams--on the bank or in the water?
