Default Fifty Places to Fly Fish Before You Die (by Chris Santella)

I received this book as a Christmas present. Naturally, I first had to
see how many of the places I've already fished:

Alaska -- Bristol Bay: Rainbow Trout and Silver Salmon Around Bristol Bay

California: Brown and Rainbow Trout Around Greater Redding

Florida: Permit off the Florida Keys
(Didn't catch a permit, or much of anything)

Idaho -- Last Chance: Rainbow Trout on the Henry's Fork

Idaho -- Stanley: Cutthroat Trout on the Middle Fork of the Salmon River

Kiribati: Giant Trevally Off Christmas Island
(Didn't catch a Giant Trevally, but lots of Bonefish)

Montana -- Fort Smith: Brown and Rainbow Trout on the Bighorn River

Wyoming: Brown and Rainbow Trout on the Firehole River
(It was too warm for decent fishing)

Wyoming and Montana: Brown and Rainbow Trout on the Madison River

Only 41 more to go! Too little time left. :-)

On the top of my wish list is Seychelles Islands: Bonefish on
St.François Lagoon.

Will you please post all 50 places? I'm very curious to see what they
are. It would interesting to try and speculate. Thinking about it for
even a few seconds I find doing that harder than it sounds. Naming the
top 50 places near home would be hard, let alone the entirety of the
world.

I'd have to think Kamchatka and Tierra Del Fuego are on the list. I
also wonder if any of the "front nine" of Colorado are on it.
