Thread: The greatest fishing quote ever

  1. #1

    Default The greatest fishing quote ever

    "In the field of fly fishing for trout, the only expert is the trout." - Charles Brooks

    "A recent survey showed that roughly two-thirds of all fishermen never eat fish. This should surprise nobody. Fish is brain food. People who eat fish have large, well- developed brains. People with large, well- developed brains don't fish. It's that simple" - Ed Zern, To Hell With Fishing 1945.

    Hey 1 Weight,

    Just want to wish you a hearty "Welcome
    Aboard". Glad you found us. I noticed in
    your profile, you list the Flyfishsouth
    board, but no indication of where you are
    from. We have a number of southerners that
    are active here on FAOL. Also a pretty
    active warmwater board. Glad to have you
    join us. Jump right in and get your feet
    wet. Also, stop by the chat room and visit.
    Warm regards, Jim

    When Ted Williams was asked to comment on his Red Sox replacement Carl Yazstremski (sp?).....

    "I only have one thing to say about Yaz;
    Yaz fishes with worms"
    The simpler the outfit, the more skill it takes to manage it, and the more pleasure one gets in his achievements.

    Boozle,
    I have a first edition of that book inherited from my grandfather, funny as all heck. I'll have to think about a quote for a while before choosing my favorite.

    Definition of fishing:
    A jerk at one end of the line, waiting for a jerk at the other end.
