Patron Saint of Fishing

Izaak Walton, the 17th Century angler and writer, is the patron saint of fishermen. At England's Winchester Cathedral, where Walton is buried,there is a stained glass window devoted to him, with this inscription: Study to Be Quiet

Fishermen understand solitude.

Perhaps that's the reason why Jesus recruited them to be his disciples.
