The perch
swallows the grub-worm, the pickerel swallows the perch, and
the fisherman swallows the pickerel; and so all the chinks
in the scale of being are filled.
-- Henry David Thoreau
1817-1862, American Essayist,
Poet, Naturalist
Caution is a
most valuable asset in fishing, especially if you are the
fish.
-- Source Unknown
We may say of
angling, as Dr. Boteler said of strawberries, ''Doubtless
God could have made a better berry, but doubtless God never
did''; and so, if I might be judge, God never did make a
more calm, quiet, innocent recreation than angling.
-- Izaak Walton
1593-1683, British Writer
Angling may be
said to be so like the mathematics that it can never be
fully learned.
-- Izaak Walton
1593-1683, British Writer
