“There is no greater fan of fly fishing then the worm.”

“A man may fish with the worm that hath eat of a king, and eat of the fish that hath fed of that worm”

“The smell of dead fish lingered in the air, and excited flies darted from fish to fish lapping up the decay.”

“Angling or float fishing I can only compare to a stick and a string, with a worm at one end and a fool at the other.”

“Personally I am very fond of strawberries and cream, but I have found that for some strange reason, fish prefer worms. So when I went fishing, I didn’t think about what I wanted. I thought about what they wanted. I didn't bait the hook with strawberries and cream. Rather, I dangled a worm or grasshopper in front of the fish and said: "Wouldn't you like to have that?"Why not use the same common sense when fishing for people?”

“This was a perfect storm of crap, all flying through the same fan, right at him.”
