The best time to go fishing is when you can get away.

To paraphrase a deceased patriot, I regret that I have only one life to give to my fly-fishing.

Most fisherman, including this one, cling to their pet stupidities as they would to a battered briar or an old jacket; and their dogged persistence in wrong methods and general wrong-headedness finally wins the a sort of grudging admiration, if not many fish.

Spinning yarns is a protection against the nuttiness... the greed, the hate all around us.

I listened to a lot of stories when I was a kid. My mother told me stories, and I loved them.
