The washerwoman at Streatley said she felt she owed it to herself to charge us just three times the usual price for that wash. She said it had not been like washing, it had been more in the nature of excavating. We paid the bill without a murmur. The neighbourhood of Streatley and Goring is a great fishing Centre. There is some excellent fishing to be had here.
Some people do.
They never catch them. The local fisherman s guide doesn t say a word about catching anything. There is no spot in the world where you can get more fishing, or where you can fish for a longer period. Some fishermen come here and fish for a day, and others stop and fish for a month. The Angler s Guide to the Thames says that jack and perch are also to be had about here , but there the Angler s Guide is wrong.
