"They argue about level lines and tapered, about heavy tackle or light,
about whther you ought to fish upstream or down, about a single built
rod or a double built. They get nasty the minute anybody says anything
about balance -- that's like dynamite to 'em -- and I've seen 'em almost
start a fight over whether Henshall designs were as good as Miss
Austen's. After I've listened to them awhile I think they all ought to
get a cane pole and garden hackle and go down to the stream someday the
way they did when they were kids. It might do 'em some good, and I bet
they'd have a swell time, too" "You're right, George, " I said. "All the
tackle in the world won't give a fisherman a good time if he's not built
for it."
"No Life So Happy"

Sorry about missing so many days of quotes. Been hectic at the Moore
House. I'll try to do better.
