Expert Tip:

I had always understood that fishermen are aspecial breed of human: honest, law-abiding, peace-loving, helpful, generous-minded, self-critical, unselfish, modest and kind. Then I had to deal with some of them and found that they are just like everyone else- some good, some not so good. Alex Behrendt 'The Mangement of Angling Waters'.
