"Superior Fishing" by Robert Barnwell Roosevelt is a sporting narrative written in the mid-19th century. This work delves into the art of fishing, particularly focusing on game fish such as striped bass, trout, and black bass found in the northern United States. The author, who is also known for other writings on fishing and hunting, aims to educate readers about fishing techniques and the unique experiences available in America's natural waters. At the start of the narrative, Roosevelt sets the scene for a fishing expedition to Lake Superior, introducing prominent characters such as Don Pedro, an elegantly mannered gentleman with a newfound itch for adventure. The beginning portrays their preparations for a camping trip, including discussions about supplies, fishing strategies, and the comforts of life they are willing to forgo in pursuit of the sport. The reader is immediately immersed in the dynamics of the journey and the natural beauty of the fishing landscapes, along with insights into the delicate balance between the sport of fishing and a sportsman's ethics. Overall, the opening section establishes not only the characters and their motivations but also the rich environment that will be explored throughout the book.
