Quote by Izaak Walton

We may say of angling, as Dr. Boteler said of strawberries, Doubtl

We may say of angling, as Dr. Boteler said of strawberries, Doubtless God could have made a better berry, but doubtless God never did; and so, if I might be judge, God never did make a more calm, quiet, innocent recreation than angling. – Izaak Walton
