"When your fly rod breaks and your fly box is bare, it's time to quit
fishing.
Go sit in your chair. Light up your pipe. Pour some JD and drink till
you're ripe.
Don't worry about your rod and your flies. Just sit with your buddies
and tell fishing lies."

"By the time I had turned thirty, I'd realized two important things.
One, I had to fish. Two, I had to work for a living."

"Handling a big trout in swift water is akin to flying a kite on a
blustery day. The
more line you let out, the more trouble you're going to have getting it
back." �

"Fish are, of course, indispensable to the angler. They give him an
excuse for fishing and justify the fly rod without which he would be a
mere vagrant. But the average fisherman's average catch doesn't even
begin to justify, as fish, its cost in work, time, and money. The true
worth of fishing, as the experienced, sophisticated angler comes to
realize, lies in the memorable contacts with people and other living
creatures, scenes and places, and living waters great and small which it
provides."

"When the going gets rough, go out and buy yourself a really nice fly
rod. When it gets rougher, buy a nice reel to go with it. Rougher still
? Buy yourself a pontoon boat or drift boat. Still rougher? Book a trip
to Kamchatka without telling your wife. Now, my good buddy, you're FIXIN
to find out what "ROUGH" is all about!
