Quotes
"I am not against golf, since I rather suspect it keeps armies of the unworthy from discovering trout." - Paul O'Neil
"How can one find adequate words to describe the sweet feel of a rod that makes casting an esthetic delight, yet which adds little to one's ability to catch fish?" from "The Philosophical Fisherman" by Harold Blaisdell
There are three kinds of people in this world.
Those who can count and those who can't.

A River runs through it
"It is you and clean, flowing water. It is you, inquisitive,
in a wild world that is older than man, seeking greater understanding and finding not only an endless interest but a tranquility that comes, most of the time,
to all nature´s wild creatures..." Lee Wulff
Bertolt Brecht - "Because things are the way they are, things will not stay the way they are."
"May you live every day of your life."
"We play mind games with fish . . . . and lose . . (?)"

Peterson
No one told me about lack of communication . . . .
