“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.”
“Take one story, viewed from two different angles. It is the same day, the same moment, but one angle ends happily... and the other ends badly.”
“Remember, a dead fish can float downstream, but it takes a live one to swim upstream.”
“A man may fish with the worm that hath eat of a king, and eat of the fish that hath fed of that worm”
“You can be the dead fish. I'll be the old stick”
“There is no greater fan of fly fishing then the worm.”
