this fascinating- river of the rugged, 
ironbound land, inspired his angling 
epic —“The Wildest Fishing In The 
World.” Who knows, perhaps some 
part -of the rapids itself entered that 
delightfully story; the power and mys¬ 
tery of it might have at least stolen in.

CONDITIONS 
(Continued from page 436) 
scores of anglers continually with dry 
and wet flies of all sorts and shapes. 
He had become wary, and now ceased 
rising out of the water after insects 
as he used to do, taking a safer diet of 
fish food with which the pool was well 
supplied. I saw six-inch chub fran¬ 
tically leaping above the water to es¬ 
cape the giant’s maw. Despite the hor¬ 
rible bad conditions I tried to seduce 
this prize with every kind of lure, with¬ 
out success, his education was highly 
complete, for there he remains—doubt¬ 
less for another season, when we all 
will again have a crack at him. 
Our Editor joined us for a few days 
to experience the woes of real suprefine 
adverse conditions. To him, less vex- 
ing, because it was his first view of 
this lovely stream. Lovely indeed it is, 
and the more lovely as one grows to 
know it well, for does not the worthy 
Dr. Henry Van Dyke sing, “Go to the 
lovely Beaver-Kill in the tassel-time of 
spring”? I’ve done it many years at 
the time mentioned to be greeted with a 
howling snowstorm and heavy — very 
heavy frost, of which early conditions 
I may describe some other time. They 
are much worse than abnormal June. 
Now what is the moral of all this 
point to? I reply, the spiceness of ad¬ 
versity makes true sport. We most 
want what we cannot get. The average 
American is really a true sport—game 
to the core, not only on a trout stream, 
even in Wall Street, he takes his med¬ 
icine like a man. This is so indeed in 
every effort that dominates the mind 
of men, to get success. Henry Ford and 
Thomas Edison are examples. So in 
spite of conditions we keep up the 
game and still go a-fishing after the 
wary, or foolish trout.
