- "Fly fishing is to fishing as ballet is to walking. It is
interesting that many men come to fly-fishing after they have been
through other kinds of fishing, usually forms that involve powerful
boats, heavy rods, and brutally strong fish. Perhaps this is because
they are getting wiser and less hormonal. Or perhaps it is that as men
get older, some of them develop holes in their souls. And they think
this disciplined, beautiful and unessential activity might close these
holes. "

- Why fish? Is fishing more than a “sport?
This sheds light on an anthropological question: "How does an
activity, fishing, that existed to feed people in the past, become a
leisure activity, sport, or form of personal gratification or
therapy?"
|
|
21
|
- What do you get out of fishing?
Meditation, communing, solitude, being with nature, the thrill of
the hunt, food to put on the family table, competition with other
fishermen, getting away from a nagging mate, experiencing tranquility
before dawn, leaving civilization behind for awhile, bonding with other
anglers.

|
- Do people know why they fish -- is it something they are impelled to do
by some inner force? How do
tangible elements of fishing culture (boats, photos of fish, huts,
favorite lures, stories, rites of passage) serve as vehicles for the
culture of anglers? Are fishermen
responding to something deep in the psyche?
|
|
23
|
- What do we know about the inter-generational nature of fishing, the
relationship of the angler to his or her parents, grandparents, and
children? How does fishing run in
families; how is it passed on?
|
|
24
|
- What is the social nature of fishing?
Do we find the counterparts of primitive hunting-and-fishing
bands of males? What about women
fishing?
