I don´t even feel sorry for you.

It's called "give and take", Mike. Your behavior on these pages is
not exactly stellar. There are no Marquess of Queensberry rules,
Mike. You hit me, I hit you back. Quite simple, lad.

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.

That's too much typing for me. Maybe I should send the book to Wolfgang.

Yes, Kamchatka and Tierra del Fuego (sea-run browns on the Rio Grande)
are on the list. A flyshop friend of mine fished for those enormous
browns. His photos were spectacular. I posted some on abpf some time ago.

The only entry for Colorado is the Gunnison River.

An important part of fly fishing, for me, has imagining and anticipating
a new place or a new species. (More often than not, the reality doesn't
live up to the dream.) The person who gave me the book knows that, so it
was a thoughtful gift.

I too received the book as a gift, albeit a couple of years ago. I
didn't see it as consumerish as some apparently do and read it with
the same sense that I might read a national geographic. Depending on
what the future holds I might get the chance to fish some of the
places and perhaps might even have some success, we'll see.

The person who gave it to me knew I liked to read, fly fish, and
experience new things ergo I agree it was a thoughtful gift. No the
book doesn't go in the same class as "On the Spine of Time" but its a
nice little read none the less.

Congratulations on the 18% success, I'm not even close to that.

Not sure why the acrimony in this thread but if that floats some
boats.......

Acrimony? Normal roff banter, started when Barnard pulled off his
impression of Scrooge and "obscene commercialism", and then, less than
24 hours later starts bragging about his own obscene commercialism.

Irony or hypocrisy would better describe it instead of acrimony.
