Best 8 quotes of Lee Wulff on MyQuotes

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.

Fishing is fishing wherever it is found... Angling's problems are never solved.

The finest gift you can give to any fisherman is to put a good fish back, and who knows if the fish that you caught isn't someone else's gift to you?

The fish you release maybe a gift to another, as it may have been a gift to you.

There will be no end to angling controversies for there is no one best way for everyone to fish.

Why does a salmon rise? Why does a small boy cross the street just to kick a tin can?
