A simple fishing boat in the midst of the rippling waters is enough to awaken in the mind of the beholder a sense of vastness of the sea and at the same time of peace and contentment - the Zen sense oof the alone.
If all the theories were correct, there wouldn't be a fish left in all of our lakes and rivers and streams.
Trout aren't naturally as selective as they've become in crowded tailwaters - they've been trained to be like that by too much fishing pressure. I've seen tailwater fish that are so hysterical they'll refuse naturals. You wonder how they get enough to eat.
As the old fisherman remarked after explaining the various ways to attach a frog to a hook, it's all the same to the frog.
Golf is like hunting and fishing. What counts is the companionship and fellowship of friends, not what you catch or shoot.
In cross examination, as in fishing, nothing is more ungainly than a fisherman pulled into the water by his catch.

Game fish are too valuable to be caught only once.

Well, a funny thing, there are three that I like all for the same reason, golf, fishing, and shooting, and I do because first, they take you into the fields.

And on top of it, it induces you to take at any one time 2 or 3 hours, if you can, where you are thinking of the bird or that ball or the wily trout. Now, to my mind it is a very healthful, beneficial kind of thing, and I do it whenever I get a chance, as you well know.
My father had a fishing business in Aberdeen destroyed by the European Union and the Common Fisheries Policy.
On the Firehole I caught thirty-six inches worth of trout - in six installments.
Many of us would probably be better fishermen if we did not spend so much time watching and waiting for the world to become perfect

You know how sometimes you meet writers that are so full of themselves? They feel really proud that they wrote something. But what they don't understand - and I like to tell this to writers - is that writing is like fishing. It's just like fishing. If you don't fish that often, you're not going to catch that many fish.
Twenty years ago people thought they were fishing nets and all sorts of things when you brought out a lacrosse stick.
