Fly Fishing Quotes

Fly Fishing Quotes
If theres one insect that symbolises a warm, lazy day spent in blissful idyl along a mountain stream, the dragonfly is it. Forget its nymphal stage - the mudeye - its this long-limbed beauty that gets poets sharpening their quills.

A fly upon the water

Vacationing Ohio attorney, Charles Adams, wanted a particular fly to fish Mayfield Pond, (near the Boardman R.) Michigan. Local tier, Len Halladay, obliged and Adams duly reported back that it was a knock-out, wanting to know what he called it. Halliday replied, The Adams, seeing as you made the first good catch on it.

Adams

Its not that Izaak Walton was necessarily the worlds greatest fly fisher, but he was certainly among the earliest published. Pertinently, he was devoted to the art of fly fishing in a way that showed true understanding of its gentle and non-competitive nature - the enjoyment of being streamside, the company of friends and the detective work of deceiving the trout. His treatise, The compleat Angler, first published in 1653 is a joy to all true fly fishers.

Angling is an art

Toss a bug or cast a fly? Put this question to your bait fisher friends and let them know subtely why you feel the way you do about fly fishing.

Bug or fly

Whether to fish with a bug or a fly immitation, that is the question. The answer is straightforward to fly fishers, a slap in the face to bait fishermen and a mystery to everyone else.

Bug or fly - two parts

If youre cautious about insulting golfers, one alternative to laying it out bare (like in the other version of this quote) is to use stylish hard to read letters. Most ball-chasers will be too self-interested to notice.

Golf Rampant

Canon William Greenwells now famous fly graces the collections of anglers the world over. Devised to imitate the olive mayfly dun in 1854, its still a popular choice for trout anglers and a must-have for any historic collection.

Greenwells Glory

Featuring Paul ONeils quote about golf luring the unworthy away from the joys of trout fishing. The line is accompanied by a famous trout dry fly - the Greenwells Glory - reproduced photographically.

I am not against golf

the design explainedThe fly pattern in this design is a wooly bugger, the most popular general subsurface fly around. They come in all different sizes, colors, and variations, but one of the best colors is snot green. This design looks great on baby products, too.

I Love Buggers: Big, Green, Wooly Ones

Try explaining to a layman what makes this supposed hobby a way of life for those attached to it - a little entomology, trout psychology, love of the outdoors plus a hefty dose of romance. When you have time to explain, such as at a barbecue (see our apron), its a pleasure. Otherwise, display this quote. Paul Schullery - Yellowstone ranger, historian, naturalist and fisherman put it succintly. (One of his recent works is Lewis

Its Not A Hobby!

the design explainedHere all the usual contents of a trout fanatics fishing vest are piled on a table.

Judge a Man by his Investments

the design explained An angler walking two mayfly nymphs on a leash. Real nymphs actually live underwater and the angler, most of the time, does not. The nymphs are both actually less than an inch long.

Nymphs: Never Fish Without Them

the design explainedThe flies surrounding the angler in this picture are popular variations of a style of flies named for angling legend Lee Wulff. These specific patterns, clockwise from the leftmost one, are: Royal Wulff, Blonde Wulff, Adams Wulff, Grizzly Wulff, Montana Wulff. Theyre very buoyant, durable dry flies that are popular on the kind of fast, broken water that sinks more fragile creations.

Raised By Wulvves

It is little known by the general public, but well understood by fly fishing afficianados, that presenting a carefully tied impression of the trouts diet puts us on par with that famous group of painters. Now you can let friends in on the secret.

The fly fisher as an artist

Walton certainly stretched a long bow in comparing angling to mathematics. (Science, more like it.) Nevertheless he communicated the spirit of a passtime that can be infuriating one minute, then supremely satisfying when you solve one of its puzzles.

The mathematiks

Whoever said that fly fishing is a philisophers sport fully understood the sweet complexity of a pastime that pulls some practitioners toward the giddy abyss of fanatacism. Understanding trout behaviour, entomology, geology and a host of other field naturalists skills are just the beginning of a life spent trout fishing. Tom Brokaw, the NBC news journalist, must have fully understood it when he uttered his now famous words.

The meaning of life

The X Flies

Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in... a line of thought that all fly fishers and philosophers feel comfortable with. Featured here on everything from tee shirts to coffee mugs.

Time is but the stream

Solitude, room to move, enjoyment of the outdoors or just the simple pleasure of wandering along a stream bank thinking of little other than its inhabitants. Perhaps this was what Henry David Thoreau was talking about when he penned the words, Many men go fishing all their lives without knowing that it is not fish that they are after.

Why we fish

the design explainedThis is what a trout would probably order at a fast food place.
