Never having had any turn for angling, I can form no opinion as to the feelings
of a fisherman in fine sunny weather — or tell how far, in foul
weather, the satisfaction he obtains from a good catch makes up for the
unpleasantness of getting drenched. But, for any one out shooting, rain is an
actual disaster. | | Similar Items: | Find |
