The solution to any problem -work, love, money, whatever -is to go fishing, and the worse the problem, the longer the trip should be.
John GierachIf we carry purism to it's logical conclusion, to do it right {fishing} you'd have to live naked in a cave, hit your trout on the head with rocks, and eat them raw. But, so as not to violate another essential element of the fly-fishing tradition, the rocks would have to be quarried in England and cost $300 each.
John GierachSure, it was your idea and your fly, but he caught the big fish. Remember, fairness is a human idea largely unknown in nature.
John GierachSomething to think about: If you fish the wrong fly long and hard enough, it will sooner or later become the right fly.
