Six More Fishing Quotes and Sayings – Feb 15, 2009

Six more quotes are up now on the Quotes page – that brings up a significant milestone, 750 quotes and sayings.

The new quotes are numbers 745 – 750.

My pick:

“There is nothing more certain than that trout will continue to be credited with keen, conscious wisdom, accumulating with experience in old fish. It is necessary for the angler’s story that it should be so, and that truth-loving person will not tamely be deprived of the groundwork of those moving dramas in which, with marvellous success, he matches his intelligence against the more human sagacity of ancient fish.” Number 750

My pick of the bunch comes via a book I raved about a couple of days ago “The last Best Place”.
