All the romance of trout fishing exists in the mind of the angler and is in no way shared by the fish. ~Harold F. Blaisdell, The Philosophical Fisherman, 1969

The fishing was good; it was the catching that was bad. ~A.K. Best

It has always been my private conviction that any man who pits his intelligence against a fish and loses has it coming. ~John Steinbeck

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day. ~Author Unknown

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, 1965

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

Even eminent chartered accountants are known, in their capacity as fishermen, blissfully to ignore differences between seven and ten inches, half a pound and two pounds, three fish and a dozen fish. ~William Sherwood Fox, Silken Lines and Silver Hooks, 1954

Good things come to those who bait. ~Author Unknown

Men and fish are alike. They both get into trouble when they open their mouths. ~Author Unknown

Fishing is not an escape from life, but often a deeper immersion into it... Harry Middleton

Fishing is much more than fish. It is the great occasion when we may return to the fine simplicity of our forefathers... Herbert Hoover

Fishing doesn’t build character. It reveals it... Anonymous

Many go fishing all their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after... Henry David Thoreau

I still don’t know why I fish or why other men fish, except that we like it and it makes us think and feel. But I do know that if it were not for the strong, quick life of rivers, for their sparkle in the sunshine, for the cold grayness of them under rain and the feel of them about my legs as I set my feet hard down on rocks or sand or gravel, I should fish less often. A river is never quite silent; it can never, of its very nature, be quite still; it is never quite the same from one day to the next. It has its own life and its own beauty, and the creatures it nourishes are alive and beautiful also. Perhaps fishing is, for me, only an excuse to be near rivers. If so, I’m glad I thought of it... Roderick Haig-Brown

Nothing makes a fish bigger than almost being caught.
Anon.

We ask a simple question and that is all we wish:
Are fishermen all liars? Or do only liars fish?
William Sherwood Fox

All fishermen are liars except for you and me, and to tell you the truth, I'm not sure about you !
Unknown

Don't tell fish stories where the people know you; but particularly, don't tell them where they know the fish.
Mark Twain

There are more fish taken out of a stream than ever were in it.
Oliver Herford

All fishermen are liars; it's an occupational disease with them like housemaid's knee or editor's ulcers.
Beatrice Cook—Till Fish Do Us Part, 1949

Bragging may not bring happiness, but no man having caught a large fish goes home through an alley.
Ann Landers

The best time to go fishin is when it's raining and when it aint"
Rancid Crabtree

A fisherman is a jerk on one end of the line waiting for a jerk on the other......

"When I was a boy, catching worms was more of a challenge than catching fish. Some of our worms were bigger than most of our fish. We bragged about big worms we had dug. We lied about bigger worms we hadn't dug. We were worm snobs. Artificial flies were for sissies."


~ Patrick F. McManus in The Night the Bear Ate Goombaw
