Greetings and Welcome to Fish Tales

"Fishing is much more than fish. It is the great occasion when we may return to the fine simplicity of our forefathers." -Herbert Hoover-

For millennia, the act of fishing has meant so many different things to so many diverse peoples worldwide. It's been a means of feeding familes directly, acquiring valuable goods for trading, facilitating scientific study, maintaining ecosystems, celebration/leisure, etc. I'm fortunate to have been raised with a philosophy that fishing is both a way to appreciate ancestral roots, and to establish a valued connection with wildlife and the natural world. 

Fish Tales will serve as a central fishing information resource for anyone who has a genuine interest in angling, from rookies to amateurs and even seasoned veterans. Here, you will have access to detailed narratives of past fishing adventures, various perspectives on the value of angling, tackle reviews, species analysis, skill and strategy tutorials, cooking recipes, pending environmental concerns, multimedia, and the opportunity to address your personal inquiries. 

As the old Chinese proverb says, "Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day; teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime." Although I'm a supporter of catch and release, I'm still a firm believer in the value of food for thought. I appreciate you stopping by and encourage you to share whatever you've learned with those close to you, so that fishing may always be a resource for future generations.
