Fishing on the banks of the Thames: Monday's food quotation
The neighbourhood of Streatley and Goring is a great fishing centre. The river abounds in pike, roach, dace, gudgeon, and eels, just here; and you can sit and fish for them all day. Some people do. They never catch them.
1889 Jerome K. Jerome, Three Men in a Boat chapter 17
