CASTING AFTER DARK 223 



in some states, regarding which I have my doubts. 

 Always this question simmers down to a matter of 

 individuality. A sportsman will be a sportsman 

 anywhere and always: the other kind will forever 

 be the other kind. Laws are only an aid, they can 

 not make sportsmen. Just how a man of porcine 

 proclivities can gratify his lusts when following in 

 the footsteps of gentle, genial Walton, is more than 

 I can understand. I can and do fish the night away, 

 violating no ethics of sport, returning as the east 

 begins to glow, a bigger bigger on the inside 

 and better man. If in this chapter I have said one 

 word, Reader, to lead you to get out where the cre- 

 ative Quiet can get a chance at you, where you will 

 forget your sordidness and littleness, I am willing 

 to run the chances of your violating the ethics of 

 highest sportsmanship. Selah.
