Rivers and Attach

Hi all,
I've finally had some time to get back to my first map and I've been experimenting with laying down rivers. I seem to be doing something wrong with the Attach function. Here's the area in question:
A river flows from a small mountain lake to join a larger river. I used the "On" button at both ends (this is CC3+). The terminus at the larger river looks fine, but joining at the lake looks funny. Look carefully and you'll see a jagged bit sticking out where the smooth path doesn't align with the curve of the lake (a smooth poly). Try as I might, I cannot get that end to look right, like the downstream end.
So... What am I doing wrong, and how do I do it right?
Thanks much in advance!
EDIT: Here's a tighter closeup of the problem point.

Also, for a nice visual effect I often draw lakes that go under the mountain symbols so it looks like the lake goes right to the mountain's edge.
That's kind of what I thought I'd have to do. Thanks for confirming it.

Ooh, nice idea! Thanks!
