Manuscript that details the practice of fishing of two species: trout and salmon. There is a heavier focus on the salmon as it goes into the spawning process. The overall tone of the document is about the nature of the pursuit of fish. The author ends the document pondering if there is a difference between actually catching the fish and catching a glimpse.
