Six more fishing quotes and sayings – Apr 15, 2009

I have just uploaded 6 more quotes and sayings, all but one on rivers. (Numbers 785 – 790)

My pick:

In a country where nature has been so lavish and where we have been so spendthrift of indigenous beauty, to set aside a few rivers in their natural state should be considered an obligation.”
– Sen. Frank Church

This was of course written about the USA – but this admonishment applies to us all, in the USA or in our own countries.

8 New Fishing Quotes and Sayings – Apr 4, 2009

I have just uploaded 8 new fishing quotes and sayings – (numbers 777 – 784).

I think my pick, in these trying times, would have to be Grover Cleveland’s musing way back in 1898:

“In these sad and ominous days of mad fortune chasing, every patriotic, thoughtful citizen, whether he fishes or not, should lament that we have not among our countrymen more fishermen.”

Doesn’t the past come back to bite us?
