Fishing Axioms

This could be fun! Post your favorite fishing sayings, axioms, adages, truisms. Here’s a couple to get started as we look forward to open water season while watching a foot or so of snow fall today. Got nowhere to go...

1) The lure in the water will catch more fish than all the lures in the box.
2) Never leave good fishing in search of good fishing. Cool

" I don't care if I catch anything, I just like hanging out with you guys"

Maybe this one should  be in the Great Fishing Lies category?
