More From Christopher Hitchens

The traveler fancies he has seen the country. so he has, the outside of it at least; but the angler only sees the inside. the angler only is brought close, face to face with the flower and bird and insect life of the rich riverbanks, the only part of the landscape where the hand of man has never interfered.

Anglers have a way of romanticizing their battles with fish and of forgetting that the fish has a hook in his mouth, his gullet, or his belly and that his gameness is really an extreme of panic in which he runs, leaps, and pulls to get away until he dies. it would seem to be enough advantage to the angler that the fish has the hook in his mouth rather than the angler.

Some people are under the impression that all that is required to make a good fisherman is the ability to tell lies easily and without blushing; but this is a mistake. mere bald fabrication is useless; the veriest tyro can manage that. it is in the circumstantial detail, the embellishing touches of probability, the general air of scrupulous - almost of pedantic - veracity, that the experienced angler is seen.

I went to see every angler on the bank to see how they were doing, to try to give them a few tips or whatever. but yeah, we had a lot of fun. it was definitely a good time and we're definitely going to do it again next year.

Fishes do not roar; they cannot express any sound of suffering; and therefore the angler chooses to think they do not suffer, more than it is convenient for him to fancy. now it is a poor sport that depends for its existence on the want of a voice in the sufferer, and of imagination in the sportsman.
