“It is quite easy to debase the sport, change its values, dilute its ethics and destroy its traditional associations with quietness, relaxation and the opportunity to think. Angling is not a competitive sport. The fisherman'- s only real competition is with his quarry and his only real challenge is the challenge to himself. Nothing can add to this, but the blight of interhuman competition can certainly detract from it.” ThinkingRealValuesOpportunityEasySportsChallengesSeaEthicsRiversAddCompetitionFishesTraditionalBoatLakesFishingAssociationRelaxationFishermanQuietnessAnglingBlightQuarryCompetitive Sports Author:Roderick Haig-Brown
“I have never seen a river that I could not love. Moving water... has a fascinating vitality. It has power and grace and associations. It has a thousand colors and a thousand shapes, yet it follows laws so definite that the tiniest streamlet is an exact replica of a great river.” MovingLawWaterEnvironmentGraceColorThousandShapesRainRiversMemorableStreamsFascinatingAssociationDefiniteVitalityDrinking WaterDrink WaterWater ResourcesRivers And WaterPaddlingReplicaWater Is LifeRaftingWater FountainWhite WaterRain WaterCanoeingCool WaterWater PowerMoving Water Author:Roderick Haig-Brown
