These poor rich men, we anglers pity them perfectly.
Angling is an art, and an art worth your learning.
If you can't be content with what you have received, be thankful for what you have escaped.
And for winter fly-fishing it is as useful as an almanac out of date.
I have known a very good, fisher angle diligently four or six hours for a river carp, and not have a bite.
The person who loses their conscience has nothing left worth keeping.
