Angler Quotes

“When a team is winning, the guides credit the angler and the anglers credit the guide.”
― L.M. Weeks, Poontown: A Novel of Chasing Tarpon and Glory

“As an angler and a gardener, I cherish each drop of rain that falls.”
― Fennel Hudson, A Meaningful Life - Fennel's Journal - No. 1

“She laughed. ‘I hope he will enjoy good sport– though my small experience informs me that catching fish is not necessary for your true angler’s enjoyment.’ ‘Oh, no! But to lose a fish is quite another matter!’ ‘Certainly! One cannot wonder that it should cast even the most cheerful person into gloom, for it is always such an enormous one that escapes!’ ‘I begin to think you are yourself an angler, ma’am: you are so exactly right!”
― Georgette Heyer, The Nonesuch

“Could an angler go fishing without a fishing rod, line and hook? It depends what they’re fishing for.”
― Fennel Hudson, A Meaningful Life - Fennel's Journal - No. 1

“What a beautiful struggle it is to be an angler. To kneel in the pulse of life which is flowing water and fling a wand with nothing more than hope. It is the best kind of hope because even if it is unfulfilled, if its potential isn’t realized by the manifestation of a catch, it only creates more hope, never loss or a sense of failure. It is a perpetual pursuit with no end in sight because there is no such thing as the perfect catch. There is always the chance for a better fish, or scene, or river, or cast, or retrospection. To be an angler is to be trapped infinitely in a mystery, and to be okay with that. More than okay, but to devour it, bask in its perpetual current, and know this is home.”
