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

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.

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


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.

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.

The Gunnison is an interesting addition and I wonder if it refers to
the black canyon section or downstream?

Awesome place though for sure.

"Several western canyons exceed the Black Canyon in overall size. Some
are longer, some are deeper, some are narrower, and a few have walls
as steep. But no other canyon in North America combines the depth,
narrowness, sheerness, and somber countenance of the Black Canyon of
the Gunnison", Wallace Hansen.

To catch a trout in such a place....

Your pal,

It features the Gunnison Gorge and Black Canyon. Evidently, access is
pretty difficult. It says the main show is the salmonfly hatch in June.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but just about anything and everything
you've posted here over the years was too much typing for you.
