Fishing.
When business gets dull and the
weather gets hot, ome's mind naturally
reverts 20 the idea uI going fishing :
to be more exact, seinng. There is
very little relief from the heat along
creek or river bank-not unless it be
at shady place where one can shuck
his clothes and get into the water
Then again, fishing with hook and
line is pretty we'll played out in this
country There are Il few peculiar char
actcrs who still like to fish with hooks
and lines and who put in much Of their
time at that occupation. Everybody
almost is seized with The notion at
times; but generally brief ten min
utes or so is enough until the next sea-
son, perhaps for years.
am reminded. Of things have heard
from older citizens in this connection.
Away back before the Civil war,
when Il large portion of the country
was still covered with virgin forests,
and there had been very little ditchlnS
of the creeks, fish were quite plentiful
in this country. There was any amount
Of fish to be caught in either the B:oau
or Catawba rivers, and the fish OF
those days included sturgeon, the larg-
est, some of them weighing $50 pounds
each: shad in the spring, red-horse,
trout, catfish, succors, perch, horncy-
head, minnows. etc.
/ remember to have heard an older
citizen Of Yorkville say that he has
seen shad brought to-the courthouse
corner from Broad river, by the wagon
load and rctai:cd at - cents each. J
also remember to have heard another
old citizen who was reliable and re-
sponsiblc, say that once when crossing
Fishing creek at what was then known
as the S mp Robinson ford on the
Yorkville- Rock Hill road, he saw a
large shad struggling in the Shallow
water and he got down off his horse
and caught it.
There was a great mill pond just
above the Simp Robinson ford in those
days, and many varieties Of fish were
caught there in abundance
Bllt il is pretty we'll conceded that
there is no fishing now anywhere IN
the ruunty--not even in the rlvri'S-
such rs there was in the Old days.
There arc some creeks where good
fishermen still find it possible to get q
fair mess of fish with lots of labor; hut
because Of the general scarcity of fish
worth while and the small chance of
getting anything at all, fishing is not
as attractive as ii uScd To be.
