I will only pitch out one name to the list and one I have not seen posted. Given that all our endeavors as related to fly fishing, such as casting, tying, fly development, and etc., is to ultimately catch fish. How about Denny Rickards.

Denny claims to ANUALLY to catch between 500-700 rainbows, browns and cutthroat that weigh between 4 and 15 pounds. He also claims to have caught and released rainbows over 15 pounds, cutthroats to 13 pounds and browns to 23 pounds. I have fished with him and the man can catch fish and large ones at that.

I can't think of another flyfisher that claims to exceed that. If those stats are true, he MUST be on someone's top ten list. JMHO.
