What does the line "Could go fishing but the fish draw flies" mean in Blaze Foley's "Big Cheeseburgers And Good French Fries"

Question

I am fascinated by the music of Blaze Foley, and he often paints an incredible picture of life in the country.

Last year I was able to – after research – determine the meaning of the line "Feed the pigeons some clay" (pigeons do eat clay!) but the meaning of this line (highlighted in bold below) in Big Cheeseburgers And Good French Fries has eluded me:

I got an angel of woman with big brown eyes,
Friends in the country, old neckties,
Big cheeseburgers and good French fries,
Could go fishing but the fish draw flies.

Does anyone know what he's referring to here?

Answer 1

In English, to draw can also mean "to attract", so it means he doesn't want to be annoyed by flies around him if he catches fish.

Answer 2

Just simple and clever, referring to how fly fishermen (myself being one), are said to be “drawing trout” when attempting to attract them to the surface, often changing the “fly” (which is supposed to imitate the local natural habitat that the trout are feeding on at that particular time of year). Therefore even tho fishermen will think of it as “drawing trout” by switching through numerous flies until successful, Blaze turns it around to say that really it’s the fish that tempting us to come to them, and throw fly after fly in attempts of catching them. So are we the ones drawing the trout, or are they really in-fact drawing us? “fish draw flies”, cuz yeah, they actually do from the trouts point of view I guess.
