A great picture captures more than the moment.

Anyone heard any good fishing quotes lately?

My brother once offered this one when we arrived at a camp. "Early to bed, early to rise; fish like Hell and tell some lies".

I always liked it but this one from Steven Wright made me laugh out loud, "There's a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot." A good caption for this post's picture.

"There's a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot."

It was taken by my brother Dave. When I look at it the whole of the trip when it was taken comes back to me, the smell, the sounds, everything. Its amazing how some photos/photographers can do that. It captures one of my favourite places. It is getting dark fast and I've just cast to cover a big, swirling, roll.

Fishing in general and fly fishing in particular

There are some wonderful quotations around the subject of fishing in general and fly-fishing in particular.
One I heard recently went something like this," The biggest fans of fly fishing I'm aware of are worms" another that I really like is from Thoreau. "A man has to believe in something; I believe I'll go fishing."
