Another Great Fishing Quote
Permalink  
 


I fish because I love to . . .

Because I love the environs where trout are found which are invariably beautiful

Because I hate the environs where crowds of people are found which are invariably ugly

Because of all the ****tail parties, television commercials, and assorted social posturies, I thus escape

Because in a world where most men seem to spend their lives doing things they hate, my fishing is at once and endless source of delight and act of small rebellion

Because trout do not lie or cheat, cannot be bought, bribed or impressed by power, but respond only to quietude and humility, and endless patience

Because I suspect that men are going along this way for the last time, and for one who don't want to waste the trip

Because mercifully there are no telephones on trout water

Because only in the woods can I find solitude without loneliness

Because bourbon from an old tin cup always tastes better out there

Because maybe one day I will catch a mermaid

Finally not because I regard fishing as being so terribly important but I suspect that so many other of man's concerns are so equally unimportant and not nearly so much fun !!

i have to agree with John, Bourbon does taste better in an old tin cup.

That's another good one Keith.  I'll have to pick up that book one of these days.  I have seen that one in the past.
