Fishing

What it governs

• Fishing spots move and never run out, so fishers trade directions, not ground.Charter, Part III — Gathering group
• Deep-water catches fight back, and offshore tiers need a boat first.
• Fish spoil from the moment of the catch: eat, cook, preserve, or lose it.
• Barehanded fishing stays open at the top, for a citizen strong enough.

What happens today

A citizen takes fish from shallow water by hand; a rod of stick and cord reaches deeper water.
