Since Rick Z. is off for the weekend and won’t be posting his WW quotes I thought I’d post a saltwater quote today.
Someone else feel free tomorrow.
“A ten-pound striped bass offers little resistance on a rugged surf-spinning stick,but that same fish on a light fly rod and leader is another experience. Somehow, a sea fish caught on fly tackle is that much more rewarding.”
Lefty Kreh…FLY FISHING in SALT WATER
“If fly fishing is a sport born of the beauty and complexity of the natural world, then ultimately every fly fisherman is, in his or her own way a naturalist. Taking this one step further, one could argue that since the natural world is nowwhere larger or more awe-inspiring than by the sea, coastal fly rodders fish in a very special place. Here, in the ocean’s compelling vastness, they face the most powerful fish on earth while standing close to the origins of life and hearing the whispers of eternity.”
Ed Mitchell … FLY RODDING the COAST
“I never really liked to tie for fun. I tie to have fishing flies. I would much rather be fishing than tying. For me, fishing is the hobby - flytying simply is a necessary part of it. That’s why durability is a top priority in many of my fly designs. It helps me fish more while tying less! My fishing and tying philosophies are the same: Keep it simple and enjoy it - all of it”
