Fly Fishing - (by John Gierach)
I used to like fishing because I thought it had some larger significance. Now I like fishing because it's the one thing I can think of that probably doesn't. It's interesting how little difference that makes.- Read the quote | 1 comment

If you were to take an infinite number of fly-tiers with an infinite amount of materials; in an infinite amount of time they would produce an infinite number of fishable flies but...not one would be considered perfect by another fly-tier.

Off Campus Lectures on Fly Fis... - (by Chuck Bushnell)
I would hate to have fished with John Steinbeck…it would have taken him fifteen minutes to tell you he caught a trout, five minutes to tell you what kind it was and when he was done, you’d feel guilty that he caught it. Hemmingway would be OK but Marcel Marceau would be the best…I wouldn’t want to be seen fishing with him though.

Off Campus Lectures on Fly Fis... - (by Chuck Bushnell (“Spook”)
It’s amusing to listen to the newer members of the fly fishing brotherhood brag about their accomplishments, bravado and skill; each trying to convince the other that he is the better fisherman. Their older more seasoned brethren quietly smile knowingly. These more seasoned anglers no longer rave on about their exploits. They have learned through the years that bragging will not validate their worthiness and as to who is the best angler - the old timers no longer try to prove this…the wisdom of their many seasons has taught them that those needing to be told are never able to recognize true talent even when-he’s-staring-them-in-the-face-telling-them-so!

Tyers spend years in an effort to perfect a craft where ultimately the judgment of their ability will be rendered by a tiny brained - cold water animal – sounds like an art critic.
