I like rivers because of their noise, the gentle gurgling of them is hard to beat. I also think that they are the most beautiful environments, lakes may look pretty, but in my opinion rivers, and river the fish associated with them, Salmon, Trout, Grayling, Dace, chub, barbel and roach are the most beautiful of the fishes, perfectly adapted for life in flowing water. I also like they're changing nature and individual characters.
