“The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope.”

John Buchanan (1915)

“Every man has a fish in his life that haunts him.”

Negley Farson (1942)

“Mr. (Calvin) Coolidge’s exploits as a fisherman are well known. One of my favorite angling places was the River Brule. Once a newspaper reporter asked him how many fish approximately were in the Brule, and the President answered that the waters were estimated to contain 45,000 fish.
‘I haven’t caught them all yet,’ he said, ‘but I’ve intimidated them.’”

John McKee (1933)
