«We go down the river amid high waves and in the center of the narrow passage between two steep rocky shores covered with lichens and mosses, Anatole, to my surprise, throws the stone in water for half a hundredweight, causing a huge splash. Now the boat has a violent arrest and sways fearfully, urged the sides by a strong current. I do not see how I can be able to fish in these conditions. With teeth, Anatole, removes the bullets from the cartridge case after having a little 'loose with the knife on board the boat, the impact dagger and plunged the line. Holds up the cane and makes jouncing flies on the crest of waves more turbulent. Takes the biggest grayling and almost on the fly. "
"It's more than an hour I leave dredge the depths of the transparent colored Kantiguir the provocation of a large tuft of feathers and shiny plastic wires tied to a hook, without any hesitation. When the streamer reaches the end of the race show him with small tears and the water is so clear that I see it 'working' on the bottom every now and then chased by packs of small grayling. Then the rat's tail seems to get tangled in something and goes slowly in tension, instinctively do a tear to my shoe and the barrel folds up to capacity while the reel lets out most of its content. The trout do not jump, it was placed at the center of the current and tip on the bottom. Slowly, without force, I can bring and then retreating, as one does with the salmon, the strip that borders the water on the moss. Colored lichens on the undergrowth by the beautiful lenox tapered body and multiple reflections color marks the fifty centimeters. Not a big fish, but I'm happy anyway. "»
