Angler’s Fever 
A Malady Over Which Materia Medica 
Has No Control. 
It Yields Readily, How- 
ever, to the Spell of Woods and Waters 
By DR. MILLER W. RICE 
is not a respector of seasons, and 
rages in October as well as in 
May and June. 
Recently, I awakened with all the 
symptoms of angler’s fever, that mal- 
ady which there is no mistaking. Just 
as the sight of water causes a dog with 
hydrophobia to throw a fit, just so 
surely will an angler throw a fit if he 
does not see water. So I started out 
in the quest of a shimmering lake. Of 
course, you understand it is better for 
the fever, if the lake shimmers, but it 
will do if it just looks glassy under an 
autumn sun. 
We reached the lake about four 
o’clock. Quietly she lay in the warm 
mid-afternoon sun, with never a ripple. 
But Oh! the effect it had upon the an- 
gler’s fever. The wild far away look 
began to give way to that quiet 
thoughtful look you see upon the an- 
gler’s face, as he studies the shore line 
for the cool resting and feeding places 
of the old black bass. My son took the 
oars, and carefully we selected the most 
favorable spots, not expecting to hook 
one, unless by accident, until evening 
time. 
Imagine my surprise when 11 P. M. 
rolled around and not a strike. The 
colored boy took the oars about six 
o’clock, and my son took the fly rod 
and some minnows and caught six nice 
croppies. These, with some bull frogs, 
we prepared for breakfast, and decided 
we would wait until morning. 
At 4:30 we took to the water again, 
and for two hours cast constantly. 
Each cast we expected to get that jerk 
that comes down the line over the rod 
and thrills you through and through. 
But no such luck. At seven o’clock, a 
one and a quarter pound bass took the 
lure, then a one-pound bass made it a 
pair. 
boy to put back, but I noticed he was 
putting him on the stringer, mutter- 
ing to himself, “I don’t see no use 
turnin’ a fish like that loose.” 
A NGLING FEVER, like typhoid, 
HIRTY minutes more of casting, 
and I told the boy that I guessed 
it was not a good time, and that we 
1 would not get any, and was aimlessly 
casting about, when all of a sudden 
there was a rush, as of many waters, 
and my line swept out to the deep wa- 
ter, the handle of my reel being knocked 
out of my fingers, giving me some hard 

The last one, I told the colored, 
644 and 5, pounds, a certain cure for 
angler’s fever. 
raps before I could get it under con- 
trol. Then the sport was on, back and 
forth, in and out he went. I gave him 
line to keep from snapping the tackle, 
and then gradually slowed him down 
until at last he came up and ate out 
‘of the colored boy’s hand. 
SAID, “When you get that fish by 
the lip, don’t you let him go,” for we 
kad left our landing net ashore. With 
his eyes white and rolling, he said, 
“Tian, dat fish is in a vice, yessah! 
saro’s vice.” And I guess it was, for 
he s=rely froze on to that fish. We al- 
mos: lost interest in fishing for looking 
at him as he swam beside the boat. 
Taking courage, however, we decided 
to stay a while longer. 
Ten minutes passed by and the ex- 
citement was about over, when again 
the waters were rent asunder. The 
lure left the surface again, and I had 
one I could not stop. When this battle 
was over, we rolled up our tackle and 
pulled to shore, for two in one morning, 
weighing, respectively, 6 and one-half, 
and 5 and one-half pounds is quite 
sufficient to cure the worst case of an- 
gler’s fever.
