Streamside thoughts...

Game fish are too valuable to be caught only once.
- Lee Wulff
~~~~
The true fisherman approaches the first day of fishing with all the sense of wonder and awe of a child approaching Christmas.
- John D. Voelker
~~~~
I doubt if I shall ever outgrow the excitement bordering on panic which I feel the instant I know I have a strong, unmanageable fish, be it brook trout, brown trout, cutthroat, steelhead, or salmon on my line.
- Edward Weeks
~~~~

“I fish because I love to. Because I love the environs where trout are found, which are invariably beautiful... Because in the woods I can find solitude without loneliness. ... And finally, not because I regard fishing as being so terribly important, but because I suspect that so many of the other concerns of men are equally unimportant and not nearly so much fun.”
- Robert Traver

~~~~
... tis not all of fishing to fish.
- Izaak Walton
