One from a guest speaker at a nasg conferance in the early eighties. He had achieved some note as a big bream angler on the cheshire meres.
When asked why he didnt fish for them in the wintertime he replied "Well, evrybody knows thats when they hibernate"

'The important thing about fishing is it's unimportance'
Bernard Venables I think, and my baseline. Good for the blood pressure when things go wrong.

Not so much a quote but in my opinion a very interesting 'intro' by BV for the first edition of Creel in July 1963

Classic Venables. I was reminded again yesterday (after spending a fortune at Redditch Tackle Fair) of his immortal words 'tackle hunger grows with the feeding'. But there is hope, 'perceived tackle deficiency syndrome' has been identified by one of our modern writers, was it John Aston? Now I have a named condition perhaps I can be treated; but on the whole I think I'd rather stay poorly.
