It twas a warm July morning and the best friends George and Jeff were out on the water. The two boys loved fishing and they would always try to go. When they would comeback they would always have new stories and forever memories from their previous adventure. The boys would do whatever it took to get to a fishing spot. The boys have stories from when they had to swim upstream to a spot, or have to tightrope walk a dam, once they even kayak down river for 3 days just to get to a fishing hole.
One day the two boys were in church, when George looked over at Jeff whose face could show that he had an idea. A couple minutes later George looked over again and made eye contact with Jeff, Jeff lipped out the words “We need to talk.” After the church bells signaled the end of the service George hustled to the meeting spot under the berry tree where him and Jeff always met. Georged asked “What you wanna talk about?” Jeff told him about his plan to canoe the Llano river from Llano Texas to Lake LBJ. It was music to George's ears.
Jeff went home after church to think about their trip. He thought about all the good times they had and all the fish they caught on the Llano. He dreamed about their trip and was counting down the days until his trip. At night he would dream about pulling in a monster, or he would have nightmares of his line snapping.
The day came when after church Jeffs mom, Ms.Julie asked if George’s mom is George could go to their ranch with them this Wednesday. George

The Carolina Day Key Middle School had an overnight in September 2015 at a place called Camp Timberlake for Boys so everyone would get to know each other better. On our last day we went on a canoeing trip in the French Broad River and some of our canoes flipped over! One of them was Lacy, Aubrey and Mr. Flamini’s canoe. Lacy and Aubrey were in the canoe, and then Mr. Flamini tried to get in….. and the whole thing flipped. They haven’t even started! Then, about ¾ the way into the ride, Nick, Mac, and Michael's canoe flipped over as well, and they were in one of the most calm parts of the river. The guide had to canoe all the way back up, against the current, and help them get it back right side up. I was in front of mostly everyone except for

Where I live, most people are out partying on the weekends, going to stadiums and fields to see the game, dancing at the noise filled concert or rave, but me? I'm out bass fishing. Bass fishing to me is much more than casting a rod, it's about staying driven for that moment, that feeling of setting a hook and fighting an aggressive bass. John Warren in his book Fishing with Confidence said, “In bass fishing we don’t often have the comfort and confidence of knowing the bass are there.” Honestly it can be When I'm out on the water, it's all mental; I've got to think, not just about the season, weather, time of day, tide pattern, and the lunar phases, but about what rod, reel, line, type and color lure to use, where to cast, and what structure to be observant for. For me, it's a game, a sport full of endless possibilities, strategies, and techniques to delude a bass. The thrill of it all keeps me going, and even if I have a rough day fishing, the tranquility of being in nature surrounded by wildlife and having the opportunity to escape the busyness and distractions of work and school means the world to me.
Fly fishing is not a mere sport or hobby, but it has become a passion that it rooted so deep in West Virginia culture that it has become a way of life (Bailey). When I first heard of fly fishing, I disregarded the subject as an old-fashioned type of fishing that has been outdated by modern technological equipment that allow you to reach every corner of the stream. Little did I know, this is not the case. JD Bailey is a local fisherman in Bridgeport, West Virginia that spent years mastering the art of fly fishing and I was lucky enough to get insight information from this valuable asset to keep the tradition of fly fishing in West Virginia alive.
Most experienced anglers will tell you the same thing, the best of most fishing is done is the early part of the year. This is the same for Walleye. They tend to like deeper murky waters for the remainder of the year (non-spring season such as July-Oct). In general they feed when its dark cloudy and murky. If it’s a bright sunny day they will not be anywhere near the surface and may not be even in the mood for biting your bait. In the spring season you are best to use a jig and minnow combo, working it with a slow pace across the bottom.
Outside of school, Tom enjoyed participating in his boy scout troop where they went camping, fishing, and collected badges. One thing that Tom absolutely loved doing was going to (whos) farm. He loved going over there because it was so much fun and he loved to spend time with his uncle (which one) The farm was unique because they did not have running water and had to pump it from outside, no inside toilets, no electricity and had a big washtub everyone had to share. With the farm being in Ohio, their winter season gets extremely cold and one morning, Tom was sent to go get a pitcher of water. When his bare hands grabbed the metal pump, the immediately froze and got stuck! Tom could not just rip his hands off the pump for it would tear the skin. He yelled for (who) to bring out a bucket of water to pour over his freezing, stuck hands. When Tom was about the age of 12, he wanted to do something fun when he was home all
Recent surveys by the U.S. fish and wildlife service have shown that over 40 million fishing and hunting licenses were sold in 2014. Fishing and hunting products such as lead bullets, lead fishing weights, and lead hooks have been released into the environment for many years now. After talking to my dad about a recent story of California condors being lead poisoned and killed after ingesting lead from dead animals, it made me think of how much lead is truly in the environment which sparked my curiosity. According to my estimation, I contribute around 175 ounces of lead into the environment. This is due to the hundreds of shotgun shells I shoot every year for hunting and target practice and the numerous ounces of lead lost while fishing due

The next day for Nick went fishing Hemingway continues to describe Nick's groundwork for fishing before he goes into the river. Once Nick had gone into the water Hemingway described the feelings that Nick felt “He stepped into the stream. It was a shock. His trousers clung tight to his legs. His shoes felt the gravel.
