Day 179: Felix Piscator is determined. He has arisen at the ungodly hour of 3 AM, breakfasted, packed his lunch and donned his fly-fishing vest in the hopes of catching a trophy trout before the sun rises over the horizon. He is well-equipped with Royal Coachmen, Dark Hendricksons, Zugbugs and the like, and of course he wears his lucky fishing hat without which he cannot possibly hope to succeed at his venture. Felix P is prepared to experience that which John Buchan referred to as "a perpetual series of occasions for hope." Therein lies the Fisherman's Credo because as all piscators know, it's not about catching fish. It's about fishing.
