your favourite flyfishing quotes

or however that dang word is written! : ) Use this forum to discuss those things that are related to, directly, or indirectly, fly fishing, i.e., tackle, catalogs, single malt scotch, cigar preferences, pipes, camera gear, etc. This is sort of an off topic area but one related to bamboo and fly fishing.

“Behold the fisherman.

He riseth up early in the morning
and disturbeth the whole household.

Mighty are his preparations.

He goeth forth full of hope,
returning when the day is far spent;

smelling of strong drink
and the truth is not in him.“

I‘ve been told that this was the Hardy’s reel makers opinion on reel care:

„Grease the balls and oil the shaft“

… and that’s how I treat my reels 😊
