Funny article to elevate ‘camping’ in particular from Victorian age. I’m from CA and did backpacking with the Boy Scouts and later backpacking with the help of Sunrise Mountaineering of (Fremont,CA -that’s how old I am).
Now I’m in NY and camping in upstate NY— the birth of fly fishing! Who knew.
And the history of fly fishing is a history of NYers who bought land and started fishing clubs, keeping everyone out. Authors Ed Van Put, Austin M. Francis describe this history.
Early fishers were fighting over their spot on the creeks and rivers before the rail road from NYC reached these spots.
So into this history here falls this story. Sounds like vacation industries catering to less wealthy Americans who can’t form their own fishing vacation companies.
