Tuesday, October 8, 2013 at 12:00AM In between comparing dicks and boozing it up around Paris, Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald found time to write letters to each other. In this excerpt of a letter Hemingway wrote to Fitzgerald from Spain in 1925 Hemingway starts describing his ideal bro paradise:
To me heaven would be a big bull ring with me holding two barrera seats and a trout stream outside that no one else was allowed to fish in and two lovely houses in the town; one where I would have my wife and children and be monogamous and love them truly and well and the other where I would have my nine beautiful mistresses on 9 different floors and one house would be fitted up with special copies of the Dial printed on soft tissue and kept in the toilets on every floor and in the other house we would use the American Mercury and the New Republic.

Then they win me back by putting out a piece like this by Ian Frazier. I hear Park City is beautiful this time of year.
The Deschutes River fly-fishing guide called Stealhead Joe was an angling master with a long list of devoted clients. But as Ian Frazier, who fished with Joe last fall, learned, off the water, Joe’s life was a tangle of troubles that ultimately overwhelmed him.

In 1901, the Saturday Evening Post printed former President Grover Cleveland's “Defense of Fishermen,” in which Cleveland rose to protect the honor of the American angler. Critics, he claimed, were unjustly accusing fishermen (there is no mention of fishing women) of “certain shortcomings and faults”: laziness, profanity, and dishonesty.
