'm not quite sure why, but
I've heard a fair number of
folks talk about their "bucket
lists" recently. If you're not
familiar with the term, it refers
to the places you'd like to visit,
and the things you'd like to do,
before you "kick the bucket." A
little morbid, perhaps, but it's
easy enough to understand the
S
because it's the most interesting
river in North America, or
because it's the ultimate dry
fly water, but because standing
knee deep in the quiet flows of
Bonefish Flats while darkness
settles gently over the Island
Park caldera is the angling
equivalent of saying the rosary
in St. Peter's Basilica or visionquesting in Glacier Park. It's
a transcendent experience;
general allure. We're only here
for a few score years and there's
no point sitting on the sidelines
while life races by.
So with that in mind, here are
my thoughts on the ultimate fly
fishing bucket list; both things
I've done (marked with a check)
and things I'd still like to do.

haven't fished it yet, you need
to. Not because of the hype, or
