“The difference between fly fishers and worm dunkers is the quality of their excuses”. -Anonymous “Scholars have long known that fishing eventually turns men into philosophers. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to buy decent tackle on a philosopher’s salary.” -Patrick F. McManus “Many go fishing all their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after.” -Henry David Thoreau “I’ve gone fishing thousands of times in my life, and I have never once felt unlucky or poorly paid for those hours on the water.” -William Tapply “For the supreme test of a fisherman is not how many fish he has caught, not even how he has caught them, but what he has caught when he has caught no fish.” -John H. Bradley
