You make it seem that river fishing is confined to the nearest clearing on the river bank or the bridge.
In actuality many people hike up and down river to explore, not only to find better spots to fish but because its a more enjoyable and scenic way of spending time outside (for me at least)
While I'm neutral about where trout are stocked; I'd obviously admit stocking them where they could holdover and supply a better trouting experience is better.
The kinds of folk that prefer to sit and fish can still fish off the bridges too. But I understand a pond supplies more area for that activity to prevent crowding.
