[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY

[Jimmy D. Moore]

  "Some act and talk as though casting were the entire art of 
Fly-fishing, and grade an angler solely by the distance he can cover 
with his flies. This is a great mistake and pernicious in it's 
influence. Casting is but a method of placing a fly before the trout 
without alarming it, and within its reach. It is merely placing food 
before a guest. The selection of such food as will suit, and so serving 
it as to please a fastidious and fickle taste, still remain 
indispensably necessary to induce its acceptance."

- Henry P. Wells, "Fly-Rods and Fly-Tackle", 1882

"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."
