Sinopsis
Excerpt from Where We Used to Fish
A rifle, out of place though it may seem in a fish story, must serve for the reader's introduction to the Bloomer Hole, as it did for mine. Of the percussion lock style, with long octagon barrel and brass butt plate with scroll-like ends, it had a stock so highly figured that no name but Circassian walnut would be deemed to do it justice in present trade parlance. A cow's horn held the powder and the bullets were patched in rawhide. I have the powder-measure and bullet-mold now and wish mightily I had the whole outfit.

Excerpt from Where We Used to Fish
But until the vision of the pumphouse, the call of angling had not really caught my ear; then it spoke to my inmost self and nothing would serve but I must go on a real fishing excursion, and that as soon as possible. I am not sure whether it was the same day, but recollections of youthful persistence would incline me to believe it was. At any rate it was soon, and the whole of the trip stands out in my memory among other fishing experiences like the heartwood core of a dead monarch of the forest from which have fallen away all the increments of later years.
What a tramp through the autumn woods, through the red, the brown, the rustling leaves! What a joy to swish, swish, swish along! It was not far to Snyder's Bayou, - the "by-o" as all called it, - but I can remember seeing along the path the full light of the sun upon some smooth gray beeches, trees which I have ever loved to see and to touch.
On the banks of the "by-o" grandpa showed me a large grape-vine hanging from one of the limbs of a great tree spreading out over the water. This had been cut off near the ground and the boys of the neighborhood were accustomed to use it when swimming, as a swing which carried them, after a run down the sloping bank, out where a thrilling plunge dropped them in the middle of the "by-o."
