My stock answer to the question "Any luck ??" is "Didn't fall in"
"A man who doesn't fish will probably lied to you about something important." -
Mend, darn it, mend!
I believe it was Mike Lawless that said..."if I'm not going to catch any fish, then I'd rather not catch any fish on flies"
Not just for flyfhishing, but good none the less
"Better to beg forgiveness, than to ask permission" --- Good for the wife.
Another one good to use when you don't wanna leave the stream
"In for a penny, in for a pounding"
"I often do not start fishing until the cool of the evening. Then in the Arctic half-light of the canyon, all existence fades to a being with my soul and memories and the sounds of the Big Blackfoot River and a four-count rhythm and the hope that a fish will rise."
I’LL SAY IT IN VERSE
WHEN IT’S TIME FOR THE HEARSE
LET MY ASHES BE CAST IN THE WOOD
LET NO PREACHER BEMOAN
OVER WHAT I HAVE SOWN
OR OF THINGS THAT I’VE DONE THAT ARE GOOD
PLEASE DON’T SING A SONG
WITH VERSES REAL LONG
MAKING EVERY ONE THERE SIT AND LISTEN
PLAY FOR THEM INSTEAD
FOR I’M REALLY NOT DEAD
THAT GRAND OLD SONG “GONE FISHIN”
Dr Fred H. Barge
circa 1960's
DRFAS,
Fred was a friend of mine and my fathers. I just about fell out of my chair when I read who authored your quote. What a great, great man. I loved sitting and listening to him talk over a scotch and a cigar.
