The details about the bend in the river, the brush that the fish shot out
from, the air temp, time of day, color of water, specific color of dubbing
used on the fly, the rod used, the time fought - all important details that
we share with our flyfishing friends; the same which causes our non-fishing
spouse's eyes to roll back in his/her head....

air of scrupulous---almost of pedantic---veracity, that the experienced
angler is seen."
