Sinopsis

Excerpt from Long Casts and Sure Rises: Being a Collection of Angling Yarns

From below, the dam had impressed me with its commanding appearance; here, its gigantic pro portions were more clearly discernible, and a mighty structure it was! Of course, one of the first thoughts that struck me Was, the reservoir must hold some big trout. I knew the loft. 6in. Fly-rod which I had with me was of little or no use to fish such a large sheet of water; and I had to be content with an inward resolve to pay the reservoir another visit when I was properly equipped.

Time Was flying on, and I turned away to r'et'race my steps. When I reached the dam the afternoon Was far advanced, and now the evening was drawing near. Then for the first time it struck me that I must be some miles away from my friend's house. I backed l' at the idea of walking through the valley by the way I had come, so I looked round to see if there was any indication of a road leading in the desired direction. Following some wheel-ruts leading from the dam I presently struck one: rough and uneven; but still a road. I had not gone far before I reached a small cottage, in the doorway of which stood a woman, past middle age, neatly but poorly clad.
