Excerpt from Trouting on the Brule River, or Lawyers Summer-Wayfaring in the Northern Wilderness
It needs little experience on the stream to real ize that this sympathy and converse with nature in her myriad forms of air, sky, woods, water, and the teeming life of bird and brute and fish, are a great part of the boundless delight of the angler''s silent trade. These mysterious in?uences and attractions of nature impart to the use of the rod a refinement and fascination which elevate it above the rank of a merely gross, illiberal, and vulgar sport. This is verified in the instances of many noted persons who, while swaying masterly seep tres over the minds of men, have yet also lovingly plied angling-rods in the secluded and quiet streams.
