Gorain has been frustrated for years with the large amount of water
that goes down Rock Creek in the spring because his thinking is that, a
large amount of water should also include some large fish. Gorain
is the scholar of Eagles Nest and every spare moment is spent reading
up on something. During his reading about fishing in Gondor he
round the answer! A casting net was just the thing to pull the
fish from the raging creek during the spring run off.
Gorain ordered a net all the way from Gondor and with great confidence told
everyone about how he was going to harvest fish this spring. A
small crowd gathered at Rock Point where Gorain prepared to put his
casting net to use. He attached the net's retaining line to
his wrist and tossed the net into the creek. Like magic, Gorain was pulled off his perch on the rock and into the
creek! After a wild ride through the rapids Gorain was able to
get into an eddy and onto shore. All Gorain captured with his net
was an old tin can. The vocal encuragement of the onlookers was not
enough to get him to try the net again.
