Beautiful Skin, Brown Trout Blue
Fly-fishing is solitary, comtemplative, misanthropic, scientific in some hands, poetic in others, and laced with conflicting aesthetic considerations. It is not even clear if catching fish is actually the point.
John Gierach, Dances with Trout (1994)
Gentlemen Fishers of the Fly
The Angler hath a jolly life Who by the rail runs down, And leaves his business and his wife, And all the din of town. The wind down stream is blowing straight, And nowhere cast can he: Then lo, he doth but sit and wait In kindly company.
Andrew Lang, 1844 - 1912 The Contented Angler, Stanza I
Resting a Hole
"The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions."

"A river is water in its loveliest form; rivers have life and sound and movement and infinity of variation, rivers are veins of the earth through which the life blood returns to the heart."

If you wish to be happy for one hour, get intoxicated. If you wish to be happy for three days, get married. If you wish to be happy for eight days, kill your pig and eat it. If you wish to be happy forever, learn to fish.
