A fly fisher who jerks his rod back and forth like chopping wood with a long handled axe and splays his line and fly on the water with a great splash, doesn't deserve to catch a trout. Treat your fly rod with respect. Be gentle with your cast and your fly will light on the water like a snow flake.
- Jimmy D. Moore
There should be little doubt as to the finest trout stream. It flows through paper birches and fern; through lodgepole pines and sagebrush; through the sounds of the drumming grouse and smells of a tamarack swamp. You drive there after work; you fly there every summer. It is where you caught your first trout, it's where your children will catch theirs. It is your stream, and it's the best trout stream in America. - Lawrence Sheehan |
