    Fish are good at three things: 1) Swimming 2) Eating and 3) Reproducing

    If I could only be a fish!

    Everyone must believe in something and I believe in Fly Fishing and Fly Tying and believe I will...

    Made that one up all by my self and I like it , probably the most original thought I have ever had, except maybe marring that great woman of mine..
    As in the Army, I have never had a bad day Fly fishing, some damn uncomfortable days but never a bad one!

    This one is classic, probably uttered/muttered by the first person to ever try to catch a fish! - And thats why they call it Fishing and not Catching!!!

    And like flyfishfairwx heres a gem I came up with sometime during my military career. BTW, feel free to use it as the occasion arises! - So, it may be pointless but its a point none the less!!

    Best Regards, Dave S. (fishdog54)

    dunno who said it first, but:

    "How was your trip?"

    "Oh, the fishing was fine. Catching... not so much."
    fly fishing and baseball share a totally deceptive simplicity; that's why they can both be lifelong pursuits.

    I have a friend that when ever he is asked how the fishing is he says the same thing whether he has been fishing the spot for 5 minutes or 5 hours.

    "Just got here."

    I do that too. More to avoid a press conference than any ill will toward my fellow angler. A year or two ago, I told a guy I'd been working my way up a 50 yard stretch for the past 3 hours and he proceeded to ask questions rapid fire for about 20-30 minutes. I didn't mind helping the guy, but it wasn't exactly the way I wanted to spend the remainder of the evening hatch.
