Flyfishing Quiz: Win a Pair of Rocky Boots!

Flyfishing Quiz: Win a Pair of Rocky Boots!
The rifle and bass fishing quizzes got some great answers and made it difficult for pea-brained fella like myself to choose a winner. So this week, I’m looking to give away a pair of Rocky boots to the first person who gives me the correct, two-word answer. Gonna put y’all in the situation the competitors find themselves in choosing their section of water to fly fish.
Scenario: The fly-fishing competition water in Dogwood Canyon is a small stream, ranging from 5 to 35 feet across. There is a little deep water, but in most places the bottom is easily visible. (The stream is clear as good North Carolina ’shine.)
Competitors will have eight sections of water (beats) and two, one-hour time slots (flights) to choose when and where they want to fish. The competitor in first place in the standings prior to fly fishing chooses first, second place chooses second, etc. Competitors will have the chance to walk the beats (with a note pad) and rank each them on practice day.
You can catch as many trout as you want, but only three counts toward your limit. And you have to declare, before you make another cast, if you want a fish to be recorded. The angler with the longest three-fish creel wins.
Question: What quality is the single most important factor in ranking the beats during the walk through?

Big fish
dissolved oxygen
fish size
I would look at WATER SPEED
Stream Flow
Water depth
Water Clarity
feeding lanes
Holding water

Slack water
Rising Trout
Available cover
Long Trout
GLORY HOLE
I hear you matouse3 ... Good Luck! I hope one of your answers is what they are looking for.
If you win be sure and go try some Rocky's on before you order them. My Rocky's seem to run slightly smaller than other boots I have. Just an FYI.
Fur Load - I laughed at your GLORY HOLE answer. Too bad you gotta be a president to fish it.
Tim got it with the first answer. Tim, good job. Shoot me a e-mail at hookjawed@sbcglobal.net.
Your Ranking
i.e. 1st place, second place, ect.
Stream bottom
Stream velocity
Current flow
current seems
I would look for the beat that is most like the water that I am used to fishing. If I find water that is more of what I am used to fishing, I will have a higher confidence and be more comfortable fishing the new water. In a timed event, where there is alot of stress, comfort and confidence can make the difference in 1st place or last place. You are more likely to preform better in a fimilar setting that a completly new one.
