"Fishing is like sex--the less you get, the more you lie."

least favorite: "that's why they call it fishing, not catching"--some goog at the end of a p-boat trip will also say that, and it means that it's been a slow day

"The act of fishing simplified is a jerk at one end of a line waiting for a jerk on the other"
I dunno who said it but I think he was speaking directly to me.

describning individuals who are under the impression they know more or land more fish than they actually do.

Pretty sure it was Mark Twain, gents.

5 Year Old Me: "Grandpa, what kind of fish will we catch?"

My Grandpa: "It doesn't matter."

This from a guy who was one of the top musky fishermen in Western PA in the 1950s through 1970s, but who would sit with me when I was a little kid for hours fishing corn for carp on the Alleghany River.

"We are waiting for the long-promised invasion. So are the fishes." ~~Churchill, October 1940.

"Angling is somewhat like poetry, men are to be born so." ~~Izaak Walton, The Compleat Angler

"Poets talk about 'spots of time,' but it is really fishermen who experience eternity compressed into a moment. No one can tell what a spot of time is until suddenly the whole world is a fish and the fish is gone. I shall remember that son of a bitch forever."

"One reason Paul caught more fish than anyone else was that he had his flies in the water more than anyone else. 'Brother,' he would say, 'there are no flying fish in Montana. Out here, you can't catch fish with your flies in the air.'"

"All there is to thinking is seeing something noticeable which makes you see something you weren't noticing which makes you see something that isn't even visible."
~~all three are from the inimitable Norman Maclean, A River Runs through It

"May the bait rise up to meet you,
The SURF; yer ready and faithful steed.
Many a fifty fare well to greet you,
The trophy; worthy of all thy deeds."~~anonymous

"There are other things in life besides fishing the striper surf. Let me see......" ~~Frank Daignault, Striper Surf

"The first condition of happiness is that the connection
between man and nature shall not be broken."~~ Leo Tolstoy

Tight Lines, and
Happy Hunting to ALL!
