"Hard-hitting flashing fellows these, bred and reared in no protected

one of Nature's trout and then with the pampered stall-fed darlings of the
intensively stocked preserve, need not be told the difference between 
the two."

[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY

[Jimmy D. Moore]

"Fish are, of course, indispensable to the angler. They give him an 
excuse for fishing and justify the fly rod without which he would be a 
mere vagrant. But the average fisherman's average catch doesn't even 
begin to justify, as fish, its cost in work, time, and money. The true 
worth of fishing, as the experienced, sophisticated angler comes to 
realize, lies in the memorable contacts with people and other living 
creatures, scenes and places, and living waters great and small which it 
provides."

[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY

[Jimmy D. Moore]

"By the time I had turned thirty, I'd realized two important things. 
One, I had to fish. Two, I had to work for a living."

[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY

[Jimmy D. Moore]

"When your fly rod breaks and your fly box is bare, it's time to quit 
fishing.
Go sit in your chair. Light up your pipe. Pour some JD and drink till 
you're ripe.
Don't worry about your rod and your flies. Just sit with your buddies 
and tell fishing lies."

[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY

[Jimmy D. Moore]

 Jimmy D. Moore

1. You wade in your "brogans" and do it "bare legged."

2. Your flies are made from corn silk.  If you don't catch anything, you 
can at least smoke them.

pole.

4. You wear a Hawaiian "flower-de" shirt on the stream.

5. Your fishing cap has "CAT" embroidered on the front.

6. You have the imprint of a Skoal snuff can on the vest pocket of your 
"Over-alls".


7. You spit snuff juice on your fly as a fish attractant

8. You spit snuff juice onto the water because it intoxicates the "chubs".

9. Your beard below your mouth is yellowish from the snuff drool.

10.Your fishing car/truck has "wash me" written in the dirt on the back.

11 You have a supply of fresh worms just in case.

12. Your over-all galluses serve as a lanyard for your fishing tools.

13. Your leader is made from real cat gut.

14. Your hat has dried worms on it.

15.  Your over-alls can stand alone when you take
   them off.

16. Your neck really is red!

[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY

[Jimmy D. Moore]

" He slept with his fly rod standing in the corner next to his bed. He didn't bother taking off his shirt and pants. His vest on the bed post and his wading boots were placed where he could swing off the bed, and like a fireman ram his feet into them. His fishing hat was by his pillow. The only thing different was that he didn't have a pole to slide down to the stream."

[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY

[Jimmy D. Moore]

"The golden trout is larger than life. It is not just a trout, but an 
embodiment of trout fishing taken, literally, to it’s highest realm. 
Because they dwell in the highest, starkest and most remote terrain in 
this country, the pursuit of goldens is not a casual affair."


By Ralph Cutter

California used to persue them,

"Have you ever noticed that trout seem to take better

have to think about it, because my flies come out of 
the vise that way."

[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY

[Jimmy D. Moore]

"Ordinarily the man accustomed to a 9-foot fly rod would reduce to one 
about 7 feet long and feel that he was equipped for working a small 
brook. This, I beg to point out, is only the palest concession to that 
kind of angling. If we chop 4 feet off that, however, the remaining 3 
foot length will permit casting from almost any position. I use mine 
right- or left-handed, with the tip pointing almost at the water. 
Because of the length and essentially greater line speed, the rod throws 
tight loops, which permits casting under obstacles with relative ease. 
There is no tendency to "hook" casts off the target, as you certainly 
must when casting with a longer rod in a purely horizontal plane."


"Fishing with McClane" by A. J. McLane

[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY - FLY TYING FANATIC

[Jimmy D. Moore]

This is one of my more popular poems. It can also
be used as a quote.  If you'd like me to post more
of my fly fishing poems, let me know. All are 10
guaranteed to make you laugh.

Have a Goodun.

JIMMYD

A FLY  TYING  FANATIC !

Cotton balls, wine corks, tow sacks, I save'em all.
Craft beads, sparkle rope, doll's eyes, I'm walkin tall.

Mosquito net, you bet!  And it's already green, don't
have to dye it.  Just try it.  You'll see what I mean.

Sewing thread, parrot feathers, and purple yarn.
I'll use most anything, and don't really give a darn.

Closed cell foam and balsa wood. Anything goes.
Why I've even used the lint from between my toes.

Candle wax, bee's wax, ear wax, I use'em all.
Soda straws, model paint bought at the Mall.

Javalina hair& belly hair from an Armadillo.
Why I even use eider down from my pillow.

Longhorn tail hair, my hair and hair from my
cats.  I'll even use belly hair from a free-tailed bat.

Black Visqueen sure makes good beetle backs.
Cut'em out, glue'em on, hang'em on the rack.

Thus is the life of a fly-tying fanatic. Could I use
the fiberglass insulation from my attic?

I throw away nuthin.  I keep all kinds of stuff.
With my kind of  fly tying, there's never enough!

[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY

[Jimmy D. Moore]

"I fished a little while ago with a man, not in his first youth, who had 
wasted the flower of his life on business and golf and gardening and 
motoring and marriage, and had in his way postponed his intiation to 
trout fishing far too long!"


Arthur Ransome "On Giving Advice To Beginners" [1929

". . . perhaps the greatest satisfaction on the first day of the season 
is the knowledge in the evening that the whole of the rest of the season 
is to come."


Arthur Ransome "The First Day At The River" (1929)

[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY

[Jimmy D. Moore]

"They say that to catch brown trout you have to be near invisible. I 
tried that on the Cimarron in 1999. It worked so well that a large brown 
bear never saw me as he snatched my fish from the end of my tippet."


Jimmy D Moore

"The curious thing about fishing is you never want to go home. If you 
catch anything, you can't stop. If you don't catch anything, you hate to 
leave in case something might bite."


Gladys Taber (1941)

[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY

[Jimmy D. Moore]

"It is well known that no person who regards his reputation will ever 
kill a trout with anything but a fly. It requires some training on the 
part of the trout to take to this method. . . . No sportsman however, 
will use anything but the fly, except when he happens to be alone."


Charles Dudley Warner, 1862

"During my addled career as a trout fisherman I have gone on a lot of 
wild-goose chases, and I ruefully expect to go on a lot more before I 
hang up my waders."

[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY XTRA

[Jimmy D. Moore]

From time to time, when I miss a day or two, I'll throw in some extra 
quotes. Hope you don't

mind.

"Fishing books, lit by emotion recollected in tranquility, are like 
poetry. We do not think of them as books but as people. They are our 
companions and not only riverside. Summer and winter they are with us 
and what a pleasant company they are."


Arthur Ransome "The Fisherman's Library" [1959]

"Twice I had the feeling, which I have talked about to other anglers and 
they have had it too, of a sudden anticipation of catching a fish so 
strong that it amounts to certainty. I suppose it is partly the harmony 
of effective presentation when everything else is auspicious, so that a 
take seems in that moment to be the only feasible conclusion. But it's 
not quit as simple as that, it's ore like a shaft of intuition. In must, 
logically, be an illusion; possible, to, you tend to remember it when it 
works and forget it when it doesn't. But, for all that, it's a curious 
experience."


"J R Hartley Casts Again"

[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY

[Jimmy D. Moore]

"The recollection of what has been and the anticipation of what is to be; the quiet discourse of men with like tastes, of past successes and of anticipated triumphs; reminiscences of river and lake and forest and camp-fire, make up a series of prospective and retrospective pleasures akin to those experienced by the old soldier fondling his trust matchlock and “fighting his battles o’er again.” 

George Dawson

Probably more so cause I think trout are probably smarter than a lot of NFL

"This winter I'm determined for once to fish sensibly, and by that I

the weather."

[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY

[Jimmy D. Moore]

"Fish are, of course, indispensable to the angler. They give him an 
excuse for fishing and justify the fly rod without which he would be a 
mere vagrant. But the average fisherman's average catch doesn't even 
begin to justify, as fish, its cost in work, time, and money. The true 
worth of fishing, as the experienced, sophisticated angler comes to 
realize, lies in the memorable contacts with people and other living 
creatures, scenes and places, and living waters great and small which it 
provides."


Sparse Grey Hackle

[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY

[Jimmy D. Moore]

"Hard-hitting flashing fellows these, bred and reared in no protected 
pond, but in the cold crystal mountain waters. Any angler who has 
matched his skill with one of Nature's trout and then with the pampered 
stall-fed darlings of the intensively stocked preserve, need not be told 
the difference between the two."

[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY

[Jimmy D. Moore]

"Fishing for browns requires stealth, patience, a lot of hiding behind 
bushes and limited wading. About the only time you'll see me hiding 
behind a bush is when I encounter a bear. I'd rather be on the water 
heading upstream. Doesn't seem to bother the rainbows and it's probably 
the reason I don't catch a lot of browns."

nice can of sardines."

Re: [VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY

[Peggy Brenner]

I can relate to this personally, for years I paddled the canoe while my 
husband Jerry fly fished.  I took up tying in '95 to save $$ as he like 
to fish the Rangley streamers that sold for a whole 1.95 at the time.


Then one day in 1997 I sold 3 houses in Lowell,MA  called a Triple hat 
trick, so I signed up and attended a Orvis endorsed fly fishing school 
out in Western MA, the rest is history as they say.

"The one great ingredient in successful fly fishing is patience.
The man whose fly is always on the water has the best chance.
There is always a chance of a fish or two, no matter how hopeless
it looks. You never know what may happen in fly fishing."

"My wife said I have so many fly rods and reels

was that I had rods and reels to fish, rods 
and reels to tinker with and then my fine 
crafted rods and reels to "fondle and admire, 
while dreaming of trout fishing during the 
cold winter months. You can imagine 
what kind of look she gave me."

"Trout fishing is always the best in the hardest to reach places, those with 
the steepest, crookedest, bumpiest, narrowest roads, or no roads at all. That's 
also where the bugs are thickest, but who cares about roads or bugs when you 
can catch big trout all day! Rough roads, bugs and good fishing go together 
like cheese and crackers and a glass of milk."

[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY

[rayado]

"Choose your fly fishing friends wisely. They can 
have an effect on how many and the size of the trout 
you catch. Fly fishers who spend a lot of time fishing 
together will unconciously adopt some of the other's 
mannerisms, choice of flies and casting techniques 
over time. Surrounding yourself with great fly fishers 
who catch a lot of trout will help you catch more and 
larger trout. However, does that mean that while you 
as the poorer angler improve your fishing prowess, 
the better angler's fishing prowess deterioates? It 
could be that as your fishing improves and your friend's 
deteriorates, he reaches a point where his fishing begins 
to improve by watching you the better angler. If that is 
the case, somewhere along the line, both will become great 
anglers. On the other hand, if both of you are piss poor 
anglers to begin with . . . . "

[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY

[Jimmy D. Moore]

"Trout fishing is always the best in the
hardest to reach places, those with the
steepest, crookedest, bumpiest, narrowest
roads, or no roads at all. That's also
where the bugs are thickest, but who cares
about roads or bugs when you can catch big
trout all day! Rough roads, bugs and good
fishing go together like cheese and crackers
and a glass of milk."

There are eight species of rabbits in the MONTANA
the Eastern Cottontail, Mountain Cottontail, 
Desert Cottontail, Snowshoe Hare, White-tailed 
Jack Rabbit, Black-tailed Jack Rabbit, Pygmy 
Rabbit, and the American Pika. However, I've 
been told that during trout season, fly 
fishermen outnumber the rabbits two to one!."

[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY

[Jimmy D. Moore]

" 'Over the years,' he once wrote,'great minds have brooded about 
whether fishermen were crazier than golfers.' There is much to be said 
for both sides. Golfers spend hours knocking an innocent little ball 
across the landscape, often getting wet and numb in the process, and 
return home with nothing to show for their efforts. Fishermen, on the 
other hand, spend hours dragging an innocent herring through the water, 
often getting wet and numb in the process,  and return home with nothing 
to show for their efforts. On successful days in both sports, joy reigns 
supreme because the participant has triumphed through enormous 
obstacles, but at least the fisherman's rush comes from outsmarting 
something that has a nervous system."

Hi Jimmy,
at least you didn't brake your leg or even more valuable parts.
I think we both are now close to 10 years on the list, and during this
time frame you had a couple of accidents. Some broken legs, some issues
with Callico, the was a story with a woodworking lathe etc. You should
really be more careful.
I wish you a quick recovery, you will have more time for tying.
And fish from your boat!
But wear a life jacket. You never know!

Hope you heal rapidly.  OUCH!  It makes me hurt to think about it.

Al

I agree with Allan. That hurts I know.
 About six weeks ago I broke a bone in my right foot.
I had grilled some hot dogs and left the pakage they came in on a stand by
the grill.  When two of our dogs went out on the back porch they started
fighting over that package, and when I ran out without any shoes I hit my
foot on a chair leg.  Definitely a big OUCH!.  I limped around at work
for over a week.  It didn't help that I had also pulled a hamstring on
my left leg during the incident.  So I was limping on both sides.
Now the pain in my foot is pretty much gone unless I stand in one place too
long.  I had also forgotten some advice my dad gave me years ago:  "If two
dogs
want fight, leave them alone. They hardly ever even hurt each other
seriously."

Jimmy D you have my sympathies.

Sorry about missing the QFTD this week.  Broke my right foot on Tuesday.
Tripped on a step and sit down on my foot.  The break is right behind the
base of my two toes next to big toe.  Not much to do about it except to tough
it out.  The steps weren't really steps, but "landings" and were about two feet

Sorry about missing the QFTD this week.  Broke my right foot on Tuesday.
Tripped on a step and sit down on my foot.  The break is right behind the
base of my two toes next to big toe.  Not much to do about it except to
tough it out.  The steps weren't really steps, but "landings" and were about
two feet wide, instead of the standard step width.  I was wearing 
sandals and caught

the heel on the lip of the step.  Guess I'm lucky though.  It could have

been a HIP !


WOW!  You were lucky you didn't land on your head.  You might have 
broken the landing!


I'm sure you got yelled at (WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING!!) by SWMBO, so 
I'll just say:

WATCH WHERE YOU'RE STEPPING!

Hope you heal rapidly.  OUCH!  It makes me hurt to think about it.

[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY

[Jimmy D. Moore]

"Under the conditions then prevailing - the thermometer recording 97 
degrees in the shade, the stream at its lowest point, and the 
temperature of the water very high - I really believe that the only 
chance he might have had would have been with a very 'wet' Mint Julep."


George M. L. La Branche "The Dry Fly and Fast Water" [1914]

[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY

[Jimmy D. Moore]

"In the first place, sheer lightness in a rod doesn't necessarily mean 
less effort. The difference between a two ounce rod and a longer five 
ounce model in ratio to the angler's total weight on the scales is about 
the same as drinking half a tumbler full of water or going thirsty."


"Fly-fishing Heresies" by Leonard M. Wright

[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY

"Handling a big trout in swift water is akin to flying a kite on a blustery day. The more line you let out, the more trouble you're going to have getting it back."
