I don't weigh my seasons by bodycount, I weigh them by experience and enjoyment.

Every season is the best season for fishing.

Every year I have the best season. I still get nostalgic for the years when I could fish whenever the need struck me, and go wherever I wants (based upon the availability of gas). Every year I count myself blessed to be able to fish at all. Although last year I bonked a 56 pound king, so if that makes a season better than last year was pretty cool. As for quality time on the water, pink seasons are fun, but way less lonely.

My best season ever, without hesitation or question, was in 1985.

Best season fishing that is, not river fishing (although I did catch some winter steelhead that winter).

It was the flyfishing that year out of state that made it the best ever.
Also the best year of my life, without hesitation or question LOL. Good times.

I did get an 18/20 that late summer/fall on Henry's Fork. Just missed a 20/20 (that taught me a lesson to ALWAYS fish a size 20 if'n the itch to put on a size 18 struck). Think it was a tiny (dry obviously) parachute Adams as I recall. A quiet but really cool guy named 'Higgins' tied the fly and it was purty (as were all the thousands of flies that guy tied!).
That fish wasn't what made it the best ever, not at all. But the trip was certainly a big part of it.
