″We fish for pleasure, and fishingbecomes pleasure from within ourselves in proportion to the skill andknowledge,
to the imagination andflexibility of soul that we bring to it.”
Roderick Haig–Brown (ARiver Never Sleeps)
"Unless one canenjoy himself fishing with the fly, even when his efforts areunrewarded,he loses much real pleasure. More than half the
intense enjoyment of fly-fishing is derived from the beautifulsurroundings, the satisfaction felt from being in the open air, the newlease of
life secured thereby, and the many, many pleasant recollections of allone has seen, heard and done. "
CharlesF. Orvis, 1886
