Fishing Quotes
Quotes from riverbanks, boats, and quiet water.
These fishing quotes lean on genuine memory: long conversations by the water with an old friend, childhood summers spent at Irish farms, and the pull of salmon runs in Alaska where a log cabin beats a crowded resort. The mood throughout is unhurried rather than competitive.

New York has an amazing history of farming and fishing that goes right back to the Pilgrim Fathers. At its core are the four seasons, which are distinct, well-established and similar to those in Lyon, where my family lives: when it's snowing in New York, a week later it will be snowing there.
