For tiny streams you only need very short leaders. You will have very little fly line out of the guides. You will not have enough line weight to cast. A weight forward line is needed. You would probably enjoy a 4wt for most of the tiny streams you mention.
In cases where you need longer casts you will need a haul in your cast and that is easy enough to learn.
