O, sir, doubt not that Angling is an art; is it not an art to deceive a trout with an artificial fly? Picture Quote #1

Well, I love fishing. I wouldn’t kill a fly myself but I’ve no hesitation in killing a fish. A lot of men are like that. No bother. Out you come. Thump. And that’s not the only reason Picture Quote #1

I go to Alaska and fish salmon. I do some halibut fishing, lake fishing, trout fishing, fly fishing. I look quite good in waders. I love my waders. I don’t think there is anything sexier than just standing in waders with a fly rod. I just love it Picture Quote #1

I imagine that no art has ever been learned from books. fly-fishing is no exception Picture Quote #1

People who are in politics to be right all the time would be better off taking up fly-fishing. It’s less dangerous. Politics that is not applied in the real world and doesn’t address the real challenges and paradoxes and agonies is a hobby Picture Quote #1

Fly-fishing is solitary, contemplative, misanthropic, scientific in some hands, poetic in others, and laced with conflicting aesthetic considerations. It’s not even clear if catching fish is actually the point Picture Quote #1

If we carry purism to it’s logical conclusion, to do it right {fishing} you’d have to live naked in a cave, hit your trout on the head with rocks, and eat them raw. But, so as not to violate another essential element of the fly-fishing tradition, the rocks would have to be quarried in England and cost $300 each Picture Quote #1

Fly fishing is the most beautiful way of trying to catch a fish; not the most efficient, just as ballet is the most beautiful way of moving the body between between two points, not the most direct. Fly fishing is to fishing as ballet is to walking Picture Quote #1

Fly fishing or any other sport fishing, is an end in itself and not a game or competition among fishermen Picture Quote #1

Time flies so fast after youth is past that we cannot accomplish one half the many things we have in mind or indeed one half our duties. The only safe and sensible plan is to make other things give way to the essentials, and the first of these is fly fishing Picture Quote #1

One great thing about fly fishing is that after a while nothing exists of the world but thoughts about fly fishing Picture Quote #1

Fly fishing is not about catching the fish. It is about enjoying the water, the breeze, the fish swimming all around. If you catch one, good. If you don’t... that is even better. That mean you come out and get to try all over again Picture Quote #1

If you’ve got short, stubby fingers and wear reading glasses, any relaxation you would normally derive from fly fishing is completely eliminated when you try to tie on a fly Picture Quote #1
