    didn't have any particular prejudice for or against the stuff. I'd seen as a kid how dangerous alcohol could be when it fueled habitual anger and had decided that it wasn't for me. From what I could see, life in Alaska was a constellation of hunting, fishing, hiking and work that orbited around an enthusiasm for booze. In this culture we had already discovered the utility of alcohol in business negotiations but it was so important that it could also serve as "legal tender." XXXX A case in point, ahead

    “Splash!” I went into the river. I was at Ten Mile River Scout Reservation. We just started the trip when I went into the water. We were the only boat that flipped over on the river. Let me tell you what happened before and during this part of the camping trip. I braced for impact. I went down a little waterfall. It hit a rock as it went down the little waterfall. The canone started to tilt over. “I’m ready,” I said. All of a sudden, the canoe flipped over! I went into the freezing cold water of

    Being on the lake fishing relaxes my mind and body, it reminds me of my childhood and all of the numerous moments I’ve had being on the lake, and it also brings me flashbacks from great times I’ve had with family and friends. Some of the most memorable times I’ve had are with my dad and brother, or with my friend Jake. For an example, back when my brother, Justin, and I were small enough when we could fit in our twelve foot aluminum flat bottom boat, with my Dad. We were fishing in an area that had

    The California State Fish: the magnificent golden trout. It flawlessly glides through the water, its golden underbelly and blue-green back cloaking its body, making it one with the water.

However, this concoction of color is threatened, and every year, their population lessens. The golden trout’s skin is a gradient, ranging from deep blue

    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 When I first heard of fly fishing, I disregarded the subject as an old-fashioned type of fishing that has been outdated by modern technological equipment that allow you to reach every corner of the stream.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

    Fishing to some people may just be fishing. But fishing to the people who have read A River Runs through It some time in their life, is a gift. Whether fishermen use bait, worms, or George's flies it is that much sweeter to catch some trout with a brother under one arm and a father on the other. The river and fishing made such a big impact on the Maclean family that it is the root of this book. The Macleans compared the river to life, went fishing to answer questions, and created a river that
