The Angler saw a large school of young 

 pollack in the bay the following morning.

Delightful trips in different seasons were 

 taken by them. The Angler never men- 

 tioned the incident. Today it is a pleasant 

 thought for him to remember that he did not 

 strike the gaff when his host demonstrated 

 that new and novel lure.
