Drop the fishing stories!
Are you crazy?
One of them describes the long process of a water moccasin creating a circular trap with its body and then sucking in fingerling trout. Another describes the bug situation for the use of eggs as bait.
Some describe the fishing spots, in exquisite detail, on the Truckee river near Reno. Several list, again in detail, the prices of each piece of needed gear for each level of quality an angler might want. Seems that women were taking up the sport in massive numbers, copying the eastern fashion. Most passionate about Leonard rods.
