riffle Explanation: hey, just happened to notice this question. i grew up fly-fishing, and the terms we always used the most were: riffles, eddies, swirls, and pools to describe the different kinds of water in a stream. also, back-eddy, side-eddy, sort of a large riffle, a slow pool, etc... depending on the water... but a strong run of water that is not an actual waterfall, we always called a riffle... cascade is too strong... too waterfally... and rapids makes me think of whitewater rafting...
