Favorite Fishing Quotations

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

[QUOTE=Tim_T;486560]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."[/QUOTE]

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."

90% of the fish use 10% of the water

Let the wind be your friend

"You work at your job to feed your family. You bass fish to feed your soul."
-Rick Clunn

"Wish I had said that." -Jerry McKinnis

I am surprise no one said this yet:

A bad day fishing beats a good day at work.
