“Une canne à pêche est un bâton avec un crochet à un bout et un imbécile à l'autre.”
En anglais : "Fly-fishing may be a very pleasant amusement; but angling or float fishing I can only compare to a stick and a string, with a worm at one end and a fool at the other."
"A fishing rod is a stick with a hook at one end and a fool at the other."
