...slippery rocks. He was using a 2¾-oz. Leonard rod and casting with easy grace, the tiny fly landing lightly 80 or 90 ft. below him. He took 1 ½ hours to draw abreast of us, never quitting a run or a pool until he had tested every inch of the surface with one or another of some dozen flies. In the end, though, he had five fine native trout in his creel...
...years ago. Most of the cells have a window.

The Herald and others are switching from an eight-column to a six-column format, at least partly to save on wasted white space between columns.

Some good early American photographers have been left out, but it almost seems worthwhile to lose them in order to be able to see ten 16 x 20 inch contact prints from O'Sullivan...
