“Turning points in my life... the bush, the trails, lakes, waterfalls... moving camp from one wonderful lake to another... the companionship of a great individual, a wonder with canoe, axe and fish line.” MovingIndividualLinesWonderWonderfulFishesLakesCampsCompanionshipTrailsRenewalTurning PointsWaterfalls Author:Arthur Lismer
“We have all been hypnotized into thinking that we are smaller than we are. Just as an undersized flowerpot keeps a mighty tree root-bound or a little fishbowl keeps goldfish tiny, we have adapted, adjusted, and accommodated to a Lilliputian life. But place the same tree in an open field or the fish in a lake, and they will grow to hundreds of times their size. Unlike the tree or goldfish, you are not dependent on someone else to move you. You have the power to move yourself. You can step into a broader domain and grow to your full potential.” ThinkingLittlesMovingGrowsStepsTreeFieldsRootsBoundsSizeFishesTinyDependentLakesDomainAdaptedFull PotentialGoldfishOpen Fields Book:Why Your Life Sucks: And What You Can Do About It Source: Why Your Life Sucks: And What You Can Do About It

“Fly fishing is the most beautiful way of trying to catch a fish; not the most efficient, just as ballet is the most beautiful way of moving the body between between two points, not the most direct. Fly fishing is to fishing as ballet is to walking.” WayTryingTwoBodyBeautifulMovingSeaWalkingRiversDirectFishesBoatLakesFishingBalletEfficientFly Fishing Author:Howell Raines
“Allowing the fly to sink to the fish's level, the angler makes a retrieve. The fly comes directly at the fish, which suddenly sees its approach. As the small fly get nearer, the fish moves forward to strike, but the tiny fly doesn't flee at the sight of the predator. Instead it continues to come directly toward the fish. Suddenly the fish realizes intuitively that something is wrong(its never happened before), so it flees until it can assess the situation. An opportunity for the angler has been lost.” Has BeensMovingOpportunityLostRealizingLevelsSituationHappenedSeaApproachRiversSightFishesStrikesTinyMoving ForwardBoatLakesFishingAllowingPredatorAnglers Author:Lefty Kreh
