Scott wrote:"Many men go fishing all their lives without knowing it's not fish they're after."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Yes indeed!
“Fishing is much more than fish. It is the great occasion when we may return to the fine simplicity of our forefathers,” Herbert Hoover.

“I have laid aside business, and gone a’fishing.” –Izaak Walton
The above because I particularly love dropping all my work (I'm self employed) and going fishing midweek and think how lucky I am when i see other people over- stressed trying to get to and from work. Then get to the water to have it to myself many times!
Also: "My biggest fear is my wife selling all my tackle when I die for what i said I paid for it".
Can't remember where I read that, but another one that applies to me!!!!
