Was just watching "Bailey's Bad Boy" and it got me to thinking about all the times fishing is either referenced or shown in the show. Thought it might make an interesting discussion.

well each and every episode starts with the theme song...The Fishing Hole!
Well now, take down your fishing pole
And meet me at the fishing hole
We may not get a bite all day
But don't you rush away
What a great place to rest your bones
And mighty fine for skipping stones
You'll feel fresh as a lemonade a-setting in the shade
Whether it's hot, whether it's cool
Oh what a spot for whistling like a fool
What a fine day to take a stroll and wind up at the fishing hole
I can't think of a better way to pass the time of day
We'll have no need to call the roll
When we get to the fishing hole
They'll be you, me, and old dog, trey to do the time away
If we don't hook a perch or bass
We'll cool our toes in dewy grass
Or else pull up a weed to chaw
And maybe sit and jaw
Hanging around, taking our ease
Watching that hound a scratching at his fleas
I'm gonna take down my fishing pole
And meet you at the fishing hole
I can't think of a better way
To pass the time of day
In, 'A Singer Comes To Town', Keevy Hazelton visits Mayberry for a little fishing.
Andy and Helen got busted for fishing at Myers lake without a license.
David Browne, the hobo, could talk to the fish.
In the first episode aunt Bea was fishing with Andy and Opie.
In Opies Rival Miss Peggy was fishing with Andy and Opie.
In The Jinx Andy and Barney were fishing with Henry Bennett.
In Baileys Bad Boy Andy and Opie were fishing with Ron Bailey.
You get a line, I’ll get a pole, honey.
Just watching “Opie Finds a Baby.” Starts out with Opie and Arnold coming back from fishing, poles in hand.
The opening scene in that epsiode has always been hard for me to swallow- No way would Aunt Bee allow that smelly tackle box on her breakfast table!
