Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Fishing for Men Concerning the art of fishing Dr. Henry van Dyke, that successful fisherman, distinguished author, and great preacher, has said: "The attraction of angling for all the ages of man from the cradle to the grave lies in its uncertainty. ´Tis an affair of luck. No amount of preparation in the matter of rods and lines and hooks and lures and nets and creels can change its essential character. No excellence of skill in casting the delusive fly or adjusting the tempting bait upon the hook can make the result secure. You may reduce the chances but you cannot eliminate them. There are a thousand points at which fortune may intervene. The state of the weather, the height of the water, the appetite of the fish, the presence or absence of other anglers enter into the reckoning of your success. When you go a-fishing you just take your chances. You offer yourself as a candidate for anything that may be going; you try your luck. "There are certain days that are favorites among anglers, who regard them as propitious for the sport. I know a man who believes that the fish always rise better on Sunday than on any other day in the week. He complains bitterly of this supposed fact, because his religious scruples will not allow him to take advantage of it.
