"Some time ago I was brought back to earth." Buggs ----- Original Message ----- From: Jimmy D. Moore To: Fly Fishing World ; Virtual Fly Box ; Hill Coountry Fly Fishers Sent: Friday, November 27, 2009 8:18 AM Subject: [VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY
"Some time ago I was brought back to earth by an incident in one of my fishing schools. I usually show a movie call 'The Way of the Trout,' which concludes with a strong plea for catch-and-release fishing. right after the final dramatic scene, which ends with the release of a large rainbow trout, an eleven-year-old boy impulsively jumped up and said, "I wouldn't let that fish go!' As he sat down, a little embarrassed, he explained,'I wouldn't let that fish go. I've never caught a fish that big.' In the awkward silence that followed, I realized that most of the people in that room - and, for that matter, he vast majority of anglers - wouldn't have let that fish go, either. I don't remember exactly what I said to that class and to that young man, but I do remember feeling awfully inadequate."
