" Love affairs, viewed from the sanctuary of middle age and bittersweet
memory, are almost impossible to document, because human emotion is a
merciful thing. It is different with trout. Trout are absolutely unique
in that a man's initial involvement seldom becomes a wry memory
dismissed as the folly of youth. It is simply love at first sight,
perpetuated and strengthened through a lifetime. One's affection for
this lovely creature steadily increases as the years slide by. "
Frank Woolner "Trout Hunting" 1977

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