New Fishing Quotes and Sayings–17 Jan 2011

Three new fishing quotes are up now – numbers 113 – 15.

My pick of the trio, and one likely to get me in a heap of fertiliser with the catch and release dogmatists…

“It’s easy to forget your place in the food chain when death comes disguised with Saran Wrap in a stainless steel grocery cooler. Eating what you kill is the ultimate reminder to respect life, the difference between ownership and stewardship, a serious reminder not to take things too seriously because you might be next.”

– Dave Ames – A Good Life Wasted

5 New Fishing Quotes –Jan 3 2011

So, another New Year and I am very happy to announce that the  one New Year’s resolution I made over 30 years ago, and every New Year since, has been kept and made yet again: “Make no New Year’s resolutions.”

Five new quotes, 1008 – 1012,  are up and ready for your perusal.

My pick of the litter – and I guess as close to a New Year’s resolution I would want to make:

A trip to the river is a series of actions and choices. Which fly? Where to cast – how best to reach the spot I am aiming for? Some days I don’t catch a thing, some days quite a few. Fly-fishing takes a mulish patience, a recognition of limits, a willingness to put up with mistakes, take them in, learn from them. On the river the world is neither perfect nor broken, but always fixable, adjustable, always ripe for restoration.”

Have a great 2011 – you may as well!
