[The High School Boys’ Fishing Trip by H. Irving Hancock]@TWC D-Link bookThe High School Boys’ Fishing Trip CHAPTER XIII 11/12
Mr.Morton taught me trout fishing; he lent me his tackle before we started, and I have it over at the camp now. Fellows, I believe, from the looks of things, that this stream is well stocked with trout.
At all events, I mean to have a try at it." "To-morrow ?" asked Dave. "No, siree! This afternoon----just as soon as possible! A little while ago we were talking about ferrying ice over to the camp. Instead, we'll ferry the camp over here, and keep the cave just as it is for our ice-house.
Do you fellows know that brook trout make the most delicious eating to be had when the cook knows his business? I do, for Mr.Morton has cooked trout for me in the woods.
Besides, brook trout are growing scarce these days.
If we can make a good haul, we can get a pretty big price per pound for them! We have ice, now, and we could carry a lot of trout to market on our push cart, on top of enough ice to keep them. Come on! Back to camp! We'll shift it to this side of the lake at once.
