Evening Republican, Volume 20, Number 234, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 29 September 1916 — Quality, Not Quantity. [ARTICLE]

Quality, Not Quantity.

The widespread use of the automobile, is. without doubt, largely responsible for the increasing number of fishermen on brooks easily accessible. From almost any city, an angler or a group of anglers can iix an hour or two hours’ time run out V some sequestered stream nnd, if They are skilled in the art of fishing, return home at night with a respectable showing of trout. While big catches are often made on near-at-home streams, the angler should not anticipate them. If he is thus recompensed for a day’s try he will be far happier than if he starts in the morning with big expectations nnd returns at night with a slightly filled creel. The true angler for brook trout should not measure his day’s sport solely by the number of trout be catches. Quantity to him is only a part of the game, and not the most- interesting part.—Outing.
