Scope and content
Vivian (Mrs. Frank H.) Sherman, skilled fly caster. Mrs. Sherman may only weigh 89 pounds but she is no throw-back; she is one of the best fly casters in the area. Here she is ready for a day of fishing, dressed in fishing gear and posed with rods and creel standing beside a grove of trees. The Tacoma native learned to fly cast 17 years before from her brother, Tacoma dentist J.A. Brewitt. She and her husband Frank now operate Tapps Fishing Tackle at 5209 South Tacoma Way. They also live at that location. Frank Sherman is also listed in the city directory as the City Harbor Master. Mrs. Sherman operates an angleworm farm in the rear of her husband's store; her crop is raised for the use of local fishermen. (T. Times 8/26/1936, pg. 13; 11/4/1936, pg. 15).
