The CL-415 is always promoted, but we are different from Canada, where a long lake is in the bottom of every valley. Try to find a body of water long enough to make a run on, without lots of dead trees in it, and it has to be fresh water - the authorities won't let you drop salt water as its residues kill the vegetation and pollute the soil. Turnarounds of more than 20 minutes are not very helpful.
