this text is from the point of view of arianna, who fishes for trout:
it may take hours for a trout to bite my fishing line. but thats fine. i enjoy standing in the river, in my rubber boots. i cast the line over and over. these long, peaceful days of trout fishing are part of a satisfying summer. its a perfect day, even if i dont catch anything.

this season, there is good news for fishermen looking to make a profit. large harvests of fish are expected in the waters near morristown, allowing a good catch for small and large companies alike. fishermen may expect full loads of different kinds of fish, including cod, tuna, and salmon.
