[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY

[Jimmy D. Moore]

"Perhaps the reason that the dry-fly fishing was slow to catch hold in 
this country lay in the fact that many British writers had expressed the 
idea that it was poor technique for fast water.  These writers meant 
that anything much swifter than the placid chalk streams were 
impractical for the floating fly.  Men like Halford were so idolized by 
our anglers that they did not attempt to use the dry fly on our faster 
streams."  

Earnest G. Schwiebert, Jr.

"Being able to read trout streams is just as valuable to a 
fly fisherman as the ability to read a defense is to a Quarterback."
