Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2004 Angling is a way to round out a happy life -----Charles K.Fox For the true angler,fishing produces a deep,unspoken joy,born of longing for that which is quiet and peaceful,and fostered by an inbred love of communing with nature ----- Thaddeus Norris After all these years,i still feel like a boy when I'm on a stream ----- Jimmy Carter No life is so happy and pleasant as the life of the well-govern'd angler ---- Izaak Walton One thing becomes clearer as one gets older and one's fishing experience increases,and that is the paramount importance of one's fishing companions ---- John Ashley-Cooper I have fished through fishless days without regret. ---- Roderick Haig-Brown Fishing is the chance to wash one's soul with pure air,with the rush of a brook or with the shimmer of the sun on blue water. ---- Herbert Hoover The angler is never a has-been. He enjoys a lifetime of participation which continues through noon,then on into the sunset,and even into the eventide of life. ----Charles K.Fox Fish come and go,but it is the memory of afternoons on the stream that endure. ----E.Donnall Thomas Books cant make you a good fisherman,but they can make you a better one. ----fishermans saying The great charm of fly-fishing is that we are always learning. ----Theodore Gordon Beyond every bend in a stream lies a new fishing challenge,for no pool,riffle or rapids is just like the previous one. ----Dick Sternberg You cannot step twice in the same river,for other waters are continually flowing in. ----Heraclitus Every lesson you learn,no matter where you learn it,transfers to all other rivers,no matter where you fish. ----Dave Hughes SD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never leave fish to find fish Moses circa 1200 BC, TB '04 and my favorite during the height of the season, "Hey buddy, why don't you fish here, you'd be closer to your line" shoe '79 and after hooking someone's line for the 3rd time, "If you wanted to see what I'm using, just ask" rodeo '88 after hooking someone's line for the 5th time, "What, do you want my phone#?" rodeo '88 after hooking someone's line for the 7th time, "I guess you want to f***!" rodeo '88 FTF shoe '00 and a new one that will get some use this fall for the guys snagging, "Nuthin' like matching the hatch, eh" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SALMONATOR 0 Report post Posted April 23, 2004 Experience usually is what you get when you don't get what you want, but if there were no such thing as optomism, there would be no such thing as fishing. -Micheal McIntosh You won't catch every fish you try for, but don't let that discourage you, because the best fisherman who ever lived can't do it either. -H. G. Tapply I have never yet caught a fish on the first cast, nor have I ever made a first cast without thinking I would catch a fish. -Ellington White If a man fishes hard, What is he going to do easy? -Roy Blount Jr. Four-fifths of the earth's surface is covered with water, but only five percent of that is good fishing. -Geoffery Norman Any man who pits his Intelligence against a fish and loses has it coming. -John Steinbeck There was never an angler who lived but that there was a fish capable of taking the conciet out of him. -Zane Grey Bragging may not bring happiness, but no man having caught a large fish goes home through the ally. -Anonymous The gods do not deduct from a man's alloted span the hours spent in fishing. -Babylonian proverb And my favorite, I think it's mostly a salmon fisherman thing 'caus I hear it alot every fall: "FISH ON!!!"................(snap)...."F***!!!!!!" -Every salmon fisherman who ever lived Al Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
