Jimmy Moore Fishing Quotations

When I was a little kid, I fished real worms to catch fish and my nickname was Wormy. The worms also kept the girls away. Then when I discovered girls, I switched to flies thinking the girls would go fishing with me. That didn't work either! Not long after that, I changed my nickname from "WORMY" to "Fly Fishing Man" and started fishing flies. The girls fell all over me, but then I couldn't catch any fish." Moral of the story: "Young Man, Don't Give Up Your Worms Too Soon!

Fly fishing is like raising children. You never know what's going to happen next.

Fly fishing for trout is like raising children. You never know what's going to happen next.

Fishing too long a fly rod on a small trout stream is like driving a greyhound bus down a deer trail.

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.

The fly angler who says they have never, ever fallen while wading , is either a pathogenic liar, or has never been fly-fishing.
