The most precious places in the English landscape are those secretive corners,
where you find only elder trees, nettles and dreams. (BB - Denys Watkins-Pitchford).

Re: what are your favourite fishing quotes?
Blame Walton.
Berners kept everything brief and simple, Walton loved complications, secret recipes, arcane ingredients and everything short of witchcraft - he found the human end of the system at least as fascinating as the piscine.
Innovation, including false starts and ingenious solutions to non-existent problems, is a major part of Angling's rich tradition. We are in the fortunate position of being able to be eclectic about it, taking the bits we fancy on the day, without anyone telling us we've got it all wrong (unless they've taken the precaution of buying us a pint first, in which case it's filed under "civilised and entertaining debate").
Civilised and entertaining debate - hm - pretty much what Walton was all about; a book to read, preferably in the company of anglers, when it was to dark or foul to be out fishing. To Educate, Inform and Entertain, or some such.
For "Blame" Walton, read "Bless".
