A fish caught on the first cast of the day means you will catch exactly 1 fish today.

Blood loss due to hooking yourself is a good way to avoid a skunk.

Please share yours!

Whenever I see "A bad day of fishing is better than a good day at work" on a bumper sticker, I think that guy must have a miserable job. I would rather be at work than be skunked. I absolutely hate getting skunked.

More:
"There is no greater fan of fly fishing than the worm."
"Even a fish wouldn't get into trouble if it kept its mouth shut."

From https://www.reelcoquinafishing.com/blog ... ing-quotes

Another: "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and he'll sit in a boat and drink beer all day"

Fish on the first cast almost always means poor fishing that day.

Also....

I had a pair of lucky fishing socks. They eventually wore out...
