Welcome to Anglers Lure

There are two types of fishermen - those who fish for sport and those who fish for fish. ~Author Unknown Fishing is the sport of drowning worms. ~Author Unknown This planet is covered with sordid men who demand that he who spends time fishing shall show returns in fish. ~Leonidas Hubbard, Jr. A bad day of fishing is better than a good day of work. ~Author Unknown May the holes in your net be no larger than the fish in it. ~Irish Blessing I fish better with a lit cigar; some people fish better with talent. ~Nick Lyons All the romance of trout fishing exists in the mind of the angler and is in no way shared by the fish. ~Harold F. Blaisdell There is certainly something in angling that tends to produce a serenity of the mind. ~Washington Irving Somebody just back of you while you are fishing is as bad as someone looking over your shoulder while you write a letter to your girl. ~Ernest Hemingway The fishing was good; it was the catching that was bad. ~A.K. Best The gods do not deduct from man's allotted span the hours spent in fishing. ~Babylonian Proverb It has always been my private conviction that any man who pits his intelligence against a fish and loses has it coming. ~John Steinbeck Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day. ~Author Unknown Bragging may not bring happiness, but no man having caught a large fish goes home through an alley. ~Author Unknown Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after. ~Henry David Thoreau All fishermen are liars; it's an occupational disease with them like housemaid's knee or editor's ulcers. ~Beatrice Cook An angler is a man who spends rainy days sitting around on the muddy banks of rivers doing nothing because his wife won't let him do it at home. ~Author Unknown If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles. ~Doug Larson We ask a simple question And that is all we wish: Are fishermen all liars? Or do only liars fish? ~William Sherwood Fox Fishing is boring, unless you catch an actual fish, and then it is disgusting. ~Dave Barry There he stands, draped in more equipment than a telephone lineman, trying to outwit an organism with a brain no bigger than a breadcrumb, and getting licked in the process. ~Paul O'Neil The best way to a fisherman's heart is through his fly. ~Author Unknown I love fishing. You put that line in the water and you don't know what's on the other end. Your imagination is under there. ~Robert Altman Give a man a fish and he has food for a day; teach him how to fish and you can get rid of him for the entire weekend. ~Zenna Schaffer There's a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot. ~Steven Wright The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan Fishing is a... discipline in the equality of men - for all men are equal before fish. ~Herbert Hoover Calling fishing a hobby is like calling brain surgery a job. ~Paul Schullery As the evening sky faded from a salmon color to a sort of flint gray, I thought back to the salmon I caught that morning, and how gray he was, and how I named him Flint. ~Jack Handey ...of all the liars among mankind, the fisherman is the most trustworthy. ~William Sherwood Fox ...trout that doesn't think two jumps and several runs ahead of the average fisherman is mighty apt to get fried. ~Beatrice Cook Give a man a fish, and he can eat for a day. But teach a man how to fish, and he'll be dead of mercury poisoning inside of three years. ~Charles Haas I am not against golf, since I cannot but suspect it keeps armies of the unworthy from discovering trout... ~Paul O'Neil Even if you've been fishing for three hours and haven't gotten anything except poison ivy and sunburn, you're still better off than the worm. ~Author Unknown Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn. ~Chuck Clark Fishing tournaments seem a little like playing tennis with living balls... ~Jim Harrison There's no taking trout with dry breeches. ~Miguel de Cervantes Reading about baseball is a lot more interesting than reading about chess, but you have to wonder: Don't any of these guys ever go fishing? ~Dave Shiflett There is no greater fan of fly fishing than the worm. ~Patrick F. McManus People who fish for food, and sport be damned, are called pot-fishermen. The more expert ones are called crack pot-fishermen. All other fishermen are called crackpot fishermen. This is confusing. ~Ed Zern Enjoy thy stream, O harmless fish; And when an angler for his dish, Through gluttony's vile sin, Attempts, the wretch, to pull thee out, God give thee strength, O gentle trout, To pull the rascal in! ~John Wolcot Our tradition is that of the first man who sneaked away to the creek when the tribe did not really need fish. ~Roderick Haig-Brown Even eminent chartered accountants are known, in their capacity as fishermen, blissfully to ignore differences between seven and ten inches, half a pound and two pounds, three fish and a dozen fish. ~William Sherwood Fox Fishing is much more than fish. It is the great occasion when we may return to the fine simplicity of our forefathers. ~Herbert Hoover Good things come to those who bait. ~Author Unknown "Carpe Diem" does not mean "fish of the day." ~Author Unknown Gone fishin', be back at dark-thirty! ~Author Unknown You must lose a fly to catch a trout. ~George Herbert If you've got short, stubby fingers and wear reading glasses, any relaxation you would normally derive from fly fishing is completely eliminated when you try to tie on a fly. ~Jack Ohman Give a man a fish, and you'll feed him for a day; give him a religion, and he'll starve to death while praying for a fish. ~Author Unknown Nothing makes a fish bigger than almost being caught. ~Author Unknown My biggest worry is that my wife (when I'm dead) will sell my fishing gear for what I said I paid for it. ~Koos Brandt Scholars have long known that fishing eventually turns men into philosophers. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to buy decent tackle on a philosopher's salary. ~Patrick F. McManus Bass fishermen watch Monday night football, drink beer, drive pickup trucks and prefer noisy women with big breasts. Trout fishermen watch MacNeil-Lehrer, drink white wine, drive foreign cars with passenger-side air bags and hardly think about women at all. This last characteristic may have something to do with the fact that trout fishermen spend most of the time immersed up to the thighs in ice-cold water. ~Author Unknown Catching fish is as incidental to fishing as making babies is to fucking. ~William Humphrey Men and fish are alike. They both get into trouble when they open their mouths. ~Author Unknown There will be days when the fishing is better than one's most optimistic forecast, others when it is far worse. Either is a gain over just staying home. ~Roderick Haig-Brown If people don't occasionally walk away from you shaking their heads, you're doing something wrong. ~John Gierach Be patient and calm - for no one can catch fish in anger. ~ Herbert Hoover I frankly don't make much of a living, but I make a hell of a life. ~Jack Gartside It is not how abundant nor how considerable our catch be, but rather to the sport, and manner in which our quarry, the noble trout is angled.~J.B. Martin Soon after I embraced the sport of angling I became convinced that I should never be able to enjoy it if I had to rely on the cooperation of the fish.~ Sparse Grey Hackle The only reason I ever played golf in the first place was so that I could afford to hunt and fish. ~Sam Snead Scholars have long known that fishing eventually turns men into philosophers.

We ask a simple question and that is all we wish: Are fishermen all liars? Or do only liars fish?~William Sherwood Fox All fishermen are liars except for you and me, and to tell you the truth, I'm not sure about you~ Author Unknown Don't tell fish stories where the people know you; but particularly, don't tell them where they know the fish.~Mark Twain There are more fish taken out of a stream than ever were in it. ~Oliver Herford All fishermen are liars; it's an occupational disease with them like housemaid's knee or editor's ulcers. ~Beatrice Cook Bragging may not bring happiness, but no man having caught a large fish goes home through an alley. ~Ann Landers Some men would rather be photographed with their fish than with their wives.~Gwen Cooper and Evelyn Haas Today she met me at the door, said I would have to choose, if I picked up that fishing rod today, she'd be packing all her things and she'd be gone by noon....well I'm gonna miss her when I get home tonight.~Brad Paisly My wife said I have so many fly rods and reels that I cannot possibly use them all. My reply was that I had rods and reels to fish, rods and reels to tinker with and then my fine-crafted rods and reels to "fondle and admire," while dreaming of trout fishing during the cold winter months. You can imagine what kind of look she gave me.~Jimmy D. Moore Hell, if I'd jumped on all the dames I'm supposed to have jumped on, I'd have not had time to go fishing.~Clark Gable Fly-fishing is the most fun you can have standing up.~Arnold Gingrich Flyfishing is like sex, everyone thinks there is more than there is, and that everyone is getting more than their share.~Henry Kanemoto There are worse things in life than death. Have you ever spent an evening with a fisherman?~Woody Allen Trout fishing. One must be a stickler for proper form. Use nothing but #4 blasting caps, or a hand grenade, if handy, or at a pool well-lined with stone, one blast from a .44 magnum will bring a few stunned brookies quietly to the surface. ~Edward Abbey It has always been my private conviction that any man who pits his intelligence against a fish and loses has it coming. John Steinbeck Camping: nature's way of promoting the motel industry. ~Dave Barry Some national parks have long waiting lists for camping reservations. When you have to wait a year to sleep next to a tree, something is wrong. ~George Carlin The fire is the main comfort of the camp, whether in summer or winter, and is about as ample at one season as at another. It is as well for cheerfulness as for warmth and dryness. ~Henry David Thoreau Camping: The art of getting closer to nature while getting farther away from the nearest cold beverage, hot shower and flush toilet. ~Author Unknown What I like about camping is you can get really dirty. Either you're all by yourself, so no one else sees you, or everyone you're with is just as dirty as you are, so nobody cares. ~Anonymous former Boy Scout But the place which you have selected for your camp, though never so rough and grim, begins at once to have its attractions, and becomes a very centre of civilization to you: "Home is home, be it never so homely. ~Henry David Thoreau I got into an argument with a girlfriend inside of a tent. That's a bad place for an argument, because then I tried to walk out and slammed the flap. How are you supposed to express your anger in this situation?

In such places standing alone on the mountain-top it is easy to realize that whatever special nests we make - leaves and moss like the marmots and birds, or tents or piled stone - we all dwell in a house of one room - the world with the firmament for its roof - and are sailing the celestial spaces without leaving any track. ~John Muir A life without adventure is likely to be unsatisfying, but a life in which adventure is allowed to take whatever form it will is sure to be short.~Bertrand Russell Adventure Bay is a convenient and safe place for any number of ships to take in wood and water during the summer months: but in the winter, when the southerly winds are strong, the surf, on all parts of the shore, makes the landing exceedingly troublesome. ~William Bligh Adventure is just bad planning. ~Roald Amundsen Adventure is not outside man; it is within. ~George Eliot Adventure is worthwhile in itself. ~Amelia Earhart Adventure is worthwhile. ~Aesop If you fish in the toilet, you're gonna catch a turd. ~P.J. Swesey You must lose a fly to catch a trout. ~ George Herbert There will be days when the fishing is better than one's most optimistic forecast, others when it is far worse.

And something inside me clicked. I realized as I watched him fight for breath, that his life was as important to him as mine is to me. ~ Paul McCartney
