I am not sure of a stream with strictly rainbows, but i fish ninemile and sometimes catch as much bows as i do browns, almost all of the bows there are wild, But some days you might not get into one bow. At the begining of the year i too wanted to catch a big bow, but after i already did, i definetly like the way browns fight over rainbows. I guess you could try skaneantlas creek for stocked and wild bows, but it is wicked wicked low and clear, really really tough to fish.
