News & Notes
A Favorite Quote: "If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went." - Will Rogers
Something I would prefer to never encounter: A sign next to a FSBO - "We shoot every third agent and the second one just left."
Favorite Passages from "Testament of a Fisherman"
"I fish because I love to; because I love the environs where trout are found, which are invariably beautiful... because trout do not lie or cheat and cannot be bought or bribed or impressed by power, but respond only to quietude and humility and endless patience... because only in the woods can I find solitude without loneliness... and, finally, not because I regard fishing as being so terribly important but because I suspect that so many of the other concerns of men are equally unimportant - and not nearly so much fun." - Robert Traver
