OK, I know he wasn't doing anything wrong. He was within his rights to futilely toss a hookless line into a pond with no fish. But why? Why not just plop down with his book and read?

Another good short story. Makes me sad that government officials like to push their weight around over petty things.
Mark Twain once said, "fishing ain't about catching fish." :) great story!
