"There was at first quite success enough to test the goodness of the extempore flies, and though few fish of much more than a pound weight were taken, and those of a dull brown, out-of-season sort of character, as if they, too, were pilgrims doing penance in an uncongenial locality ; yet, combined with the novelty of the scene and the fineness of the weather, the fishing afforded quite excitement enough to keep the interest alive."
