Today, April 1st, is known to some as "All Fools Day" but to my late friend Jim C. he knew it to be the opening day of trout fishing season. He loved fresh water fishing and used to frequent the Abercrombie & Fitch flagship store on Fifth Avenue in New York where they had a casting pond on the roof and many prominent fishing addicts practiced their form there. When Ted Williams was in town with the Boston Red Sox he also was seen there as fishing was his first love. The store supplied sports equipment for the likes of Ernest Hemingway and Dwight Eisenhower. But all that was from another time.
