About this product

Product Information

Excerpt from A Book of Fishing Stories Fishing stories are commonly associated by facetious folk with a measure of prevarication more seductive, it may be, than downright falsehood, but less unmoral. The fisherman is, by long usage, discredited by his neighbours, who maintain that the truth is t in him. Yet so shrewd a man as Pontius Pilate, having asked What is truth?, departed without hearing the answer to his question, and even the most reckless exaggerations, of big fish caught and even bigger lost, usually rest upon a basis of fact. This is place in which to examine the alleged imaginative powers of the reminiscent angler, or to debate the commensurate talent for light fiction in the golfer, horse-dealer, and other outdoor men and women. To some extent, it must be confessed, the disciples of Walton have only themselves to thank for this slur on their veracity, since, instead of indignantly repudiating the charge, they more commonly treat it as a standing joke, and take curious pleasure in telling tales against themselves wherein whales figure as bait, and other gems of mendacity are brought out for inspection. Although there will be found in these chapters more than one episode so startling as to be credible only to fishermen themselves, the names of the contributors should be sufficient guarantee of their authenticity.
