Canon Story: The Adventure of Shoscombe Old Place

Author's Notes: (...eye-stalks emerging from the lurker pond blink "Hello"...)
For me, fishing was more than an enjoyable past-time, it provided respite when city living became too much. Holmes, however, loathed fishing as if fresh air and cicada-song were torture to his Bohemian soul, and yet still he indulged me. That he retained our gear from those early days was testament to what a great friend I had in him.

(And having been through the 17 year cicadas, I can attest personally to their torturous nature.)

It is apparent in the story that they actually know how to fish, isn't it? I love the thought that Holmes has put up with something he doesn't enjoy just for Watson's sake ^^
