    Default "A Devil of a Fisherman"

    I've been reading when I should have been fishing....
    Please enjoy a few lines from..

    A Devil of a Fisherman

    G.E.M. Skues (1935)

    St.Peter looked up from a draft balance sheet at the entry of the attendant angel.
    "A gentleman giving the name of Castwell. Says he is a fisherman, your Holiness, and has 'Fly-fishers' Club, London,' on his card."
    "Hm-hm" said St.Peter. "Fetch me the ledger with his account."
    St. Peter perused it.
    "Hm-hm" said St. Peter "Show him in."
    Mr. Castwell entered cheerfully an offered a cordial right hand to St. Peter.
    "As a brother of the angle..." he began.
    "Hm-hm" said St. Peter.....
    The simpler the outfit, the more skill it takes to manage it, and the more pleasure one gets in his achievements.

    Dudley;
    I think the cordial J. C. offered was probably a single malt. That's how I'd go in!! Whoo Haa!!

    I feel more like I do now than I did when I got here!
