Anglers Catch Trout
As Well as Coeds
With Lines
Before the sun this morning,
the campus anglers bolted out of
bed, climbed into their hip boots,
and headed for the wilds in
search of the wiley trout fish. De
spite the five-day monsoon which
made fishing conditions poor,
real fishermen would consider
the missing of opening day ritual
a horrible felony. Only the stu
dents in George Harvey's fish
ology classes can offer legitimate
excuses for, their cuts—they're
doing homework.
Someone once said that a fish
ing line was a string with a worfn
on one end and a fool on the
other. Perhaps this follows from
the theory that few anglers eat
their catch. Since fish are brain
food, draw your own conclusion.
And who are these men on the
banks of Spring Creek, Fisher
man's Paradise, Spruce Creek,
etc.? Probably your date for the
weekend. Though fishermen are
born honest, they soon get over
it. So when he tells you about the
beauty he caught, check his
shoulder for blonde hairs.
But if he comes back with an
empty creel, long explanations
will follow to prove that there is
more to fishing than just catching
a fish. But don't ask him what
or he'll go off in a huff.
