Instead of the usual type of Quote today, and after being taken to task for John Gierach's esoteric quote of yesterday, I felt it necessary to once again let all of you know . . . .

"WHY I FISH" By Jimmy D. Moore

I fish for the fun of it and the smells of it.
Sometimes I fish just for the plain hell of it.

I fish to enjoy the great outdoors. I fish
to get away from my household chores.

I fish to pit my wits against the wily trout.
How he beats me with his pea sized
brain is awfully hard to figure out.

I fish because it expands my mind. I also
Fish because I have the time.

I used to fish to get away from my job.
Now I fish to avoid the mobs

Sometimes I fish to get away from my wife,
and more than once this has saved my life.

Ive fished with all kinds of pretty little flies
And I plan to do so till the day I die.

If as they say, trout fishing is good for the soul,
Surely Heavens streams will always run cold.

Bury me with my fly rod and my streamside
kit so I can fish as I go down the River Styx.

If the Styx is cold, therell be trout. If its hot,
Well, you figure it out.

You say I fish because of lust. Not so my
Friend, I fish because I must!

Have A Great Day and may your weekend be filled with many good fish, good food, good friends and good memories to be had.
