For me, the life of the angler is an almost flawless example of how not to have a good time.
Christopher Hitchens
Image
Yet compared with the serious things of life, fishing is after all rather trivial. The thoughtful angler must frankly confess this.
Harold Russell
Image
No life is so happy and so pleasant as the life of the well-govern'd angler.
Izaak Walton
Image
An excellent angler, and now with God.
Izaak Walton
Image
And if ye angler take fysshe surely thenne is there noo man merier than he is in his spyryte.
Juliana Berners
Image
A friend of ours, who is an admirer of Isaac Walton, was struck, just as we were, with the likeness of the old angler's face to a fish.
Leigh Hunt
Image
A Rod: An attractively painted length of fiberglass that keeps an angler from ever getting too close to a fish.
Robbie Keane

I went to see every angler on the bank to see how they were doing, to try to give them a few tips or whatever. But yeah, we had a lot of fun. It was definitely a good time and we're definitely going to do it again next year.
Tom Felton
Image
There was never an angler who lived but that there was a fish capable of taking the conceit out of him.
Zane Grey
Image
Satan, that great angler, hath his sundry baits for sundry tempers of men, which they all catch greedily at, but few perceive the hook till it be too late.
Anne Bradstreet
Image
The measure of an enthusiasm must be taken between interesting events. It is between bites that the lukewarm angler loses heart.
Edwin Way Teale
Image
We waded so gently and reverently, or we pulled together so smoothly, that the fishes of thought were not scared from the stream, nor feared any angler on the bank, but came and went grandly, like the clouds which came and went on the western sky, and the mother-o'-pearl flocks which sometimes form and dissolve there.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
As no man is born an artist, so no man is born an angler.
Izaak Walton
Image
The fly angler who says they have never, ever fallen while wading , is either a pathogenic liar, or has never been fly-fishing.
Jimmy Moore
Image
Catching fish is not a mental game between fish and angler. A 'smart' trout is only smarter than other trout, not smarter than a fisherman. An angler must take the puzzle of the day's conditions, and matching those conditions and his knowledge of the fish come up with a good catch. He competes with a concept, not with a fish's brain.
Lee Wulff
Image
Fishes do not roar they cannot express any sound of suffering and therefore the angler chooses to think they do not suffer, more than it is convenient for him to fancy. Now it is a poor sport that depends for its existence on the want of a voice in the sufferer, and of imagination in the sportsman.
Leigh Hunt
Image
For the true angler, fishing produces a deep,unspoken joy, born of longing for that which is quiet and peaceful, and fostered by an inbred love of communing with nature
Thaddeus Norris
Image
All the charm of the angler's life would be lost but for these hours of thought and memory. All along the brook, all day on lake or river, while he takes his sport, he thinks. All the long evenings in camp, or cottage, or inn, he tells stories of his own life, hears stories of his friend's lives, and if alone calls up the magic of memory.
William Cowper Prime
Image
Fishing is a pleasure of retirement, yet the angler has the power to let the fish live or die.
