Angling is a sport, so sporting ethics should apply.

Smile, tip your traditional hat, and enjoy your time by the water.

Angling is just a way of relaxing and escaping in the countryside.

Having a fishing rod in your hand is merely an excuse to explore out-of-sight depths and reveal mysteries that previously only existed in dreams.

Angling is a recreation. It’s supposed to be fun.

There are a million-and-one ways to enjoy a day’s angling. Catching fish is but one of them.

It is the goings-on between bites that excites the traditional angler as much as when the float goes under.

The act of fishing – for fish, dreams or whatever magic is available – is enough.

There’s always an opportunity to fish for something – even if it’s just for laughs or ideas.
