| Summary |
"With Rod and Line in Colorado Waters" by Lewis B. France is a memoir-style fishing narrative written in the late 19th century. The work captures the author's experiences and reflections as he engages in the sport of fishing in Colorado's natural landscapes. It combines elements of personal anecdotes with a love for nature, focusing on the joys and struggles that accompany the life of an angler. The opening of the book introduces readers to a nostalgic recollection of the author's childhood fishing adventures and contrasts this with his later explorations in the Colorado wilderness. We meet a young boy who experiences his first catch, which includes a significant struggle with an eel, setting a playful tone. This leads to a more mature perspective, as the author recounts his friendships, camping trips, and the allure of fishing in the beautiful yet challenging terrains of Colorado. He navigates through memories of fishing successes and failures, interaction with nature, and the enduring love for the sport that binds the experiences together.
