"Fishing is a kind of reading, which is why so many fisherman, when they are not fishing and not tying flies, like to read about fishing. They indulge winter fantasies with articles about perfected streamers and new material for the belly of a jassid and with river stories -- the classics of Hemingway and Grey, those of the modern masters Schweibert, Chatham, Gierach and Lyons. Indeed, beyond reading as a form of self-help or of escape, fishing may not only be a kind of reading, but the most intense form of reading there is."

"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."
