I know you'll say the bottom topography or wind action, but, even on small waters, the flies behave the same, unless leaded. Why is this?

I believe you've answered your own question! It's the underlying pattern of stones a channel or grove in the ground; and as to why the flies wont follow the same line through? Simple, it's attached to your fly line, best you can do to alleviate this happening is to high stick your rod, or use only a long leader through that particular section! There's also an art to presenting a fly in those fast water situations; and you can bet there's a nice fish in there - just waiting for you to get that presentation perfectly placed.
