2008: Where'd you fish and what did you catch?

[WAtroutbum]

I thought I'd start a thread that would be interesting during this time of year. It would be an opportunity to look back at all of the places we've fished and types of fish we caught and also to see where many of you fish and what you catch. No need to get specific, just list the body of water and the species.
I'll start off.

Body of water:

Yakima River, WA
Big Hole River, MT
Beaverhead River, MT
Poindexter Slough, MT
Rocky Ford Creek, WA
Snoqualmie R. WA
NF Couer D Alene R., ID
St. Joe R, ID
Leech Lake, WA
Cady Lake, WA
Various beaches Puget Sound, WA

Species:
Brook, Brown, Rainbow, Cutthroat trout
Sea Run Cutthroat trout, Resident Coho

April was Bahamas month for me, Eleuthera to be more specific. Bonefish, cuda's and jacks. Alas no tarpon or permit...
July: Norway, brown trout and grayling in the river Glomma, Atlantic salmon in the river Gaula.
September: Reservoir fishing in the UK, stocked rainbows.
These days I fish locally for pike and roach.

A good year after all...
