Answer 1

YOUR ANSWERS:-

1)The neighbourhood of Streatley and Goring is a great fishing centre. The river abounds in dace, pike, gudgeon, roach and eels. All day, one can sit and fish for them. Some people do but they never catch them.

2)The author was an extremely neat thrower, had plenty of gumption and quite enough constitutional laziness. However, to become a great angler, he would require more imagination, more power of invention and the ability to tell lies easily.

3)The young man began counting each fish that he caught as ten and to assume ten to begin with. Then, if he really caught one fish, he called it twenty, while two fish would count thirty and so on.

4) The old fellow told the author that he had caught the trout just below the bridge with a minnow and it weighed eighteen pounds six ounces. He further added that one didn't see many fish that size about there then.
