Summer at European spas and bass fishing notes
The piece sketches a summer scene at the Wisconsin Dells with figures like Jeanne Wilson and Adolph Kiefer visiting Hor net's Nest, warning about poison ivy and outdoor hazards. It then shifts to fishing, praising the smallmouth bass, its scientific name Microperctus dolomieu, and its habits. It contrasts smallmouth with largemouth and Kentucky bass, detailing habitat, nesting behavior, and lifecycles. It ends with fishing tackle notes and an estimate of annual fish consumption and related expenditures.
