"To go fishing is the chance to wash one's soul with pure air,
with the rush of the brook, or with the shimmer of sun on blue water. It brings
meekness and inspiration from the decency of nature, charity toward
tackle-makers, patience toward fish, a mockery of profits and egos, a quieting
of hate, a rejoicing that you do not have to decide a darned thing until next
week. And it is discipline in the equality of men - for all men are equal
before fish." - Herbert Hoover
"Rivers and the inhabitants of the
watery elements are made for wise men to contemplate and for fools to pass by
without consideration." - Izaac Walton
"The fishing was good; it was
the catching that was bad." - A.K. Best
"Three-fourths of the Earth's
surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord
intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the
lawn." - Chuck Clark
"There he stands, draped in more equipment than a
telephone lineman, trying to outwit an organism with a brain no bigger than a
breadcrumb, and getting licked in the process." - Paul O'Neil
