I second these words. I know people who get mad, angry, or even threaten to quit fishing if they don't have a good day on the lake or stream. In my eyes, just having the opportunity to be one with nature in the middle of a high mountain stream on a brisk autumn morning is all that matters. I have my good and bad days as far as # of fish, but I'm just happy to be able to have the chance.

If you'd rather I not use my fly fifhing poems in liu of quotes, let me know. If no objections, I'll continue through poem # 9. Then I'll return with the Quotes. Have A Good Day ! "ME AND TROUT" If a trout bites my hook when I don't look, How come he don't when I do? Maybe he's an ornery dude and Can't stand a fisherman who's rude And takes me for a fool A fool I may be, but ornery I ain't And my friends will tell you so. I'm a fun loving guy although I'm quite shy, But all my friends think I'm too bold. The longer I fish, the smarter the trout, But I become more stupid without a doubt. I've read all the books, be that as it may, I'll break a hook and not even look Till it's much too late in the day. I sit on the bank as my beer goes rank, And I figure it's time to go. I cuss my bad luck as I look for my truck And wonder if I'm getting too old. I think to myself, "old trouts must have sense" As I inwardly wince and store my gear and pole. I've caught not a thing, but I can still sing Cause fishing has replenished my soul. Jimmy D. Moore Woodway, Texas © May 22, 2001 **************** ><((((((((º> ************** JIMMY D.
