Having some bucket list fishing trips provides some fun to look forward to. And then in hindsight they offer good thoughts, feelings, and images to look back upon. Without giving it much thought, when the movie, Bucket List, came out I quickly penciled out my own personal bucket list of things to do. So I went to Kamchatka, Alaska (Bristol Bay and SE), the Dean and return trips to the Skeena system in B.C., Ascencion Bay, Mexico, did a bicycle tour of Italy, and built a house to round things out.

I'm glad I had Kamchatka on my list. It's that different. Probably what Alaska must have been like 60 or more years ago. Speaking of time, I agree with Snake; I'd love to go back in time and fish the NF Stilly, Kalama, and EF Lewis as I knew them in the 1970s. I had no idea then that the fishing available then would all be in past tense when the 21st century arrived. Get after it while you can. Or invent a time machine.
