"To go fishing is the chance to wash one's soul with pure air,
with the rush of the brook, or the shimmer of sun on blue water.
It brings meekness and inspiration from the decency of nature, charity
toward
tackle-makers, patience towards fish, a mockery of profits and ego's,
a quieting of hate, a rejoicing that you do not have to decide a
darned thing until next week. And it is discipline in the equality
of men...
for all men are equal before fish."
- Herbert Hoover (31st president of the United States)
