It is interesting to observe that In tile realm of the Amer ican sport of fishing, the truth can prove to be so elusive that one could truthfully say that it doesn't exist! FISHERMAN The reason for this state of affairs it caused by e change la men who change their way of life for e short period every spring. By putting on some old clothes, gelling up at mid- mgtji, sitting all day In a boat holding a fishing pole while rain end snow find all the cracks In the armor of old clothes, these men-become- fishermen are able to speak in aiTange leagues and Its see wlih eyes that have become magnifiers. Their stories make no sense, is a sensible person, and the things ihay have ex perienced are ail large and very strong. One has but to witness the huge gestures used to illustrate their stories in order to believe this. AH ILLNESS The illness which causes these symptoms Is called "Fishing Fever" and is found only In those who get a slight case every spring that soon clears up during the summer. Those of us who fish aii year are somehow Immune to the epidemic and rarely show any symptoms like those just de scribed. As a matter of fact, it's too bad that the fever occurs because it tends to give a bad name to the sport of fishing. Serious fishermen ac tually pride themselves on their honesty and would feel badly if they Were thought of as stretching the truth. It's these beginners who tell ali the stories, but there are so; many of them that the serious : fisherman has a hard time: finding anybody who will be-: lieve his stories. And they are '. tiie truth! '!
