Favorite Fishing Quotations

One I've heard a few times since I started fly fishing: "Trout don't live in ugly places."

My all-time favorite from Patrick F. McManus:

"Scholars have long known that fishing turns men into philosophers. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to buy decent tackle on a philosophers salary. I have always thought it would be better if fishing turned men into Wall Street bankers, but that is not the case. Its philosophers or nothing."

LOL love me some Pat McManus! Saw a snake on Elkhorn this week and performed a Modified Stationary Panic in his honor.

Gotta love his stuff, too funny. If you are interested he has a really cool web site and even talks about how he became a humor writer.

Trying to calmly reason with the wife when I'm trying to head to the lake and she's already planned my day: "Fishing is not a matter of life and death, it's much more important than that!"

My dad, everytime he hooks a tree or a rock and gets stuck. "You ain't fishing if you ain't getting hung up." To which I reply, "Well then you are fishing an awful lot."
