Good fishermen know that in talking about fishing, nothing is more interesting than the truth.

The desire to build a house is the tired wish of a man content thenceforward with a single anchorage. The desire to build a boat is the desire of youth, unwilling yet to accept the idea of a final resting place.

Swallows and Amazons for-ever!

Grab a chance and you won't be sorry for a might-have-been.

Fishing is not like billiards, in which it is possible to attain a disgusting perfection.
