Enjoying the joys of others and suffering with them- these are the best guides for man. A.E.
Hopefully I have a long time before I kick the bucket, but before I do I would just like to fish the same clear, uncrowded, and undeveloped waters I do now with my children and grand-children before these same waters are gone.
My list contains this:
To live long enough so that when I do Die the last words on my lips are NOT - I wish I did.......
or Why didn't I ........
As in the Army, I have never had a bad day Fly fishing, some damn uncomfortable days but never a bad one!
Everyone must believe in something and I believe in Fly Fishing and Fly Tying and believe I will

nice Yellowstone photo's thanks ...... Doug (also)
Very interesting thread! Wish, I'd noticed it sooner, than today!
Now, for those with a LONG list of things to do, before you're worm food.......... narrow it down to say 18 to 24 months...........as in: "that's ALL the time you have left"~??
With that, time limit, all I wish to accomplish...............
1) Is to be remembered as "A person anyone would like to call a "real friend".
2) Fish, anywhere, any time, without any high expectations, because it's "the fishing, not the catching, or record keeping" that keeps me going out there.
3) Have my rods and reels, lines and gear.......... fished with, not stored away, until it virtually "falls apart from use", so it wasn't purchased, built, or cared for, by me, in vain.

A most interesting thread. Thank you for starting it.
As others have expressed, I'd love to fish Alaska. I must admit, though, the the drive from TX. to Colorado seems to get longer every year, so perhaps I'd better get that Alaska trip done soon.
No man can have too many fly rods;
no woman too many shoes.
My Bucket List
I'd like to end war and have everyone live in peace and harmony. No wait, that's my answer for the Miss America contest not my bucket list.
Actually, I'm pretty happy right where I am and pretty content with the things that I've done. I suppose that I would most enjoy meeting a few of the famous fly tyers like Dave Whitlock, Skip Morris, Jim Schollmeyer, and Randal Kaufmann. I've also always wanted to throw a live hand grenade (not at any fish---honest). 8T
