Ricky Gervais...But some of the ideas are ridiculous. Such as matching the hatch. Of course there are times when you have a fly as alike as possible to the flies on the water. But casting and accuracy and how you present your fly and how fast it gets there and how fast it swims are all more important than matching the hatch.
Charles RitzThere was a man that hated his footprints and his shadow, so one day he thought that if he ran fast enough, his footprints and shadow would not be able to follow him and then he never ever had to look at them again.

It'll still be true." "And it doesn't matter what you won't let me say, that'll still be true too.

Iโm always laughing at Lucy and sheโs like a little Polly Pocket, you know? The tiny one.
