I don't regard nature as a spectator sport.

The truth is, fish have very little sex life. If you have ever tried to make love under water, you will know why.

Contrary to common belief, it is not true that if you cut a worm-fisherman in half, each half will grow into a complete fisherman. For which we should all be eternally grateful.

The best time to go fishing is when you can

It is easy to tell tourists from tarpon. Tarpon have a narrow, bony plate inside the mouth of their lower jaw. Tourists have both upper and lower plates.

Fly fishing or any other sport fishing, is an end in itself and not a game or competition among fishermen. . . .

I don't mind my hand shaking so much; it improves my S cast.
