To paraphrase a deceased patriot, I regret that I have only one life to give to my fly-fishing.
John D. VoelkerMost 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.
John D. VoelkerI fish because I love to . . . because I love the environs where trout are found . . . because I suspect that men are going along this way for the last time, and I for one donโt want to waste the trip . . . and, finally, not because I regard fishing as being so terribly important but because I suspect that so many of the other concerns of men are equally unimportantโโand not nearly so much fun.
