TROUT
[ Also see Fish Fishing Flyfishing ]

And though it be a two-foot trout,
  'Tis with a single hair pulled out.
      - Samuel Butler (1), Hudibras

For trouts are tickled best in muddy water.
      - Samuel Butler (1),
        On a Hypocritical Nonconformist (st. 4)

And angling too, that solitary vice,
  What Izaak Walton sings or says:
    The quaint, old, cruel coxcomb, in his gullet
      Should have a hook, and a small trout to pull it.
      - Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron),
        Don Juan (canto XIII, st. 106)

There's no taking trout with dry breeches.
      - Cervantes (Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra),
        Don Quixote (pt. II, ch. 71)

You must loose a flie to catch a trout.
  [You must lose a fly to catch a trout.]
      - George Herbert, Jacula Prudentum

Where the pools are bright and deep
  Where the gray trout lies asleep,
    Up the river and o'er the lea
      That's the way for Billy and me.
      - James Hogg ("The Ettrick Shepherd"),
        A Boy's Song

My father was very sure about certain matters pertaining to the universe. To him, all good things--trout as well as eternal salvation--come by grace and grace comes by art and art does not come easy.
      - Norman Fitzroy Maclean,
        A River Runs Through It

Groping for trouts in a peculiar river.
      - William Shakespeare, Measure for Measure
         (Pompey at I, ii)

Lie thou there; for here comes the trout that must be caught with tickling.
      - William Shakespeare,
        Twelfth Night, or, What You Will
         (Maria at II, v)

Some circumstantial evidence is very strong, as when you find a trout in the milk.
      - Henry David Thoreau, Journal
