I can't find our copy of *Trout Fishing in America* but there's this bit where a guy finds dusty odd lengths of trout stream for sale in a junk shop. For sale by the yard, insects is extra.

Ah, Richard Brautigan... Those were the days, my friend.

"We're selling it by the foot length. You can buy as little as you want or you can buy all we've got left. A man came in this morning and bought 563 feet. He's going to give it to his niece for a birthday present.

"We're selling the waterfalls separately of course, and the trees and birds, flowers, grass and ferns we're also selling extra. The insects we're giving away free with a minimum purchase of ten feet of stream."

Sorry, I thought the insects was extra. Thanks for finding it.
