Mass Pike runs parallel to the train tracks on the left...

They also go out in the spirit of that great adventure novelist John Buchan (The Thirty-Nine Steps), who once peered beneath the surface of the water and caught the essence of the sport: "The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what...
