10 Beautiful Fly Fishing Photos

A current ebbing by the shoreline, across smooth stones and over submerged tree trunks. In the dappled light, you see movement. A trick played by rippling light? Or, yes, there it is, a trout, hovering inches above the riverbed, fins sculling against the gentle flow. You scan the river, flick your rod and watch the fly drop inches from your target. The beautiful thing? What happens next doesn’t matter.

"The solution to any problem - work, love, money, whatever - is to go fishing, and the worse the problem, the longer the trip should be." - John Gierach
"Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man how to fish and he will stand in the river and drink beer all day." – Unknown
“In this ever changing world, there are few things that have remained constant for me. The chance of hooking a nice trout still excites and thrills me to this day.... just as it did when I was a kid. I like that!” - M.A. Bookout
"No angler merely watches nature in a passive way. He enters into its very existence." - John Bailey
"The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions of hope." - John Buchan
“There is a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot.” - Steven Wright
"You can see them standing in the amber current where the white edges of their fins wimpled softly in the flow...On their backs were vermiculate patterns that were maps of the world in its becoming. Maps and Mazes." - Cormac McCarthy
"The best way to an anglers heart is through his fly." – Unknown
“Angling or float fishing I can only compare to a stick and a string, with a worm at one end and a fool at the other.” - Samuel Johnson
"Down at the core of every fisherman's heart is the belief that on any day something wonderful and unlikely could be made to happen, and if you're careful and patient enough it could happen to you." - John Gierach
