A Thought To Ponder!

Why I enjoy those days I catch nothing!!!

Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing it is not the fish they are after.

_Henry David Thoreau - 1817

And another.....

If fishing is religion then fly fishing is high church ~ Tom Brokaw

and I especially like this one.

The gods do not deduct from man's allotted span the hours spent in fishing. ~ Babylonian Proverb

[taxidermist]

I go fishing to catch fish with the hopes of catching a really big fish. the species dont matter. if I was fishing for trout and caught a 50lb striper or even a 10 lb striper, even a 10 lb gar I would be happy.

Not to sure this is Babylonian, ever been there? I have dont not find a heck of a lot of water!! I do know if that were only true Grandpa Toad would still be alive today and healthy!!

"He told us about Christ's disciples being fisherman, and we were left to assume...that all great fishermen on the Sea of Galilee were fly fisherman and that John, the favorite, was a dry-fly fisherman." - Norman Maclean-A River Runs Through It

"You'll hear people say that birth is a miracle and death is a tragedy, but a sportsman eventually comes to see that anything that happens every day is just plain ordinary. Life is just life, and even brook trout get the blues."

-John Gierach

These two and others get me through the many hours of labor and toil I must spend away from fishing, so that I may continue fishing at a later time.
