Description

This collection of more than 350 memorable quotations about the passion and pleasure of fishing captures the essence of the sport like very few collections have. Here are quips, comments, and words of wisdom on all aspects of fishing from Lord Byron, Cervantes, Art Flick, John Gierach, Roderick L. Haig-Brown, Ernest Hemingway, Ted Leeson, A. J. McClane, Thomas McGuane, Arthur Ransome, Steve Raymond, Charles Ritz, Paul Schullery, G. E. M. Skues, Izaak Walton, Ed Zern, and many more. This is an ideal gift for anyone who loves to fish and a great companion for those rainy days when you can't be out on the water.
