Fishermen, No Matter What Supreme Good Fortune

Never Insult Seven Men When All Your Packing Is A Six-shooter.

Today I Began The Novel That I Determined To Be Great.

Far Away Tongariro! Green - White Thundering Athabasca River Of New Zealand! I Vowed I Would Come Again Down Across The Pacific To Fish In The Swift Cold Waters Of This Most Beautiful And Famous Of Trout Streams. It Is Something To Have Striven. It Is Much To Have Kept Your Word.

Fishing Is A Condition Of Mind Wherein You Cannot Possibly Have A Bad Time.

I Did Not Have One Bad Spell During Writing - An Unprecedented Record.
