“A fish, which you can’t see, deep down in the water, is a kind of symbol of peace one earth, good will to yourself. Fishing gives a man… some time to collect his thoughts and rearrange them kind of neat, in an orderly fashion. Once the bait is on the hook and the boat anchored, there’s nothing to interfere with thinking except an occasional bite.”
