Why only these twelve?
These streams are attractive to trout because they provide all of the elements of good trout habitat including:

Cool water temperature (around 60° F, depending on the species). Water temperature is effected by the amount of paved areas (impervious surfaces) within watersheds. These surfaces soak up the sun's rays, and heat the rainfall that runs into the local streams. When water temperature gets too warm, it can't hold enough oxygen for fish survival.

Coarse stream bed sediments provide hiding places for the insects and other invertebrates that fish eat, and are a place for fish to spawn. Silt runoff from construction and other human activities can clog up these spaces.

These are only a couple of the things necessary for good trout habitat. Check out the links to individual trout species in the green box above to learn more.
