WHY WE FISH
The average person might assume that the purpose of fishing is to catch
fish. Well, not exactly. There's much, much more.
Fishing is more that an occasional weekend trip; fishing is a state of
mind. Which is why we go again and again and again.
In a nutshell, we go fishing to enjoy

To go fishing is the chance to wash one's soul with pure air,
with the rush of the brook, or with the shimmer of sun on blue water.
It brings meekness and inspiration from the decency of nature,
charity toward tackle-makers, patience toward fish,
a mockery of profits and egos, a quieting of hate,
Three-fourths of the earth's surface is water, and one-fouth is land. It is
quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of
time fishing as taking care of the lawn.
