The First Trout I Caught and the Reason I Hate Snakes It was a warm sunny day in the state of Wyoming. I was with my brother and uncle when the unthinkable happened to me. I remember the memory like it was yesterday. And now I always watch my step in rattlesnake country. I was on a trip with my uncle and my younger brother when we talked to a guy that my uncle knew. His name was zach and he was nice enough to let us go fishing for trout in a stocked pond that his boss owned. Since he was hired…

Story: It all started when Mr. Dejong assigned the homework where you had to catch worms yourself and go fishing with the worms that you caught. It was the perfect day to go fishing, and it just rained so I decided to go worm catching so I did. As I went outside I started to dig a flower bed as my mom instructed me to. As soon as I found rich soil, I started to dig. I found one worm, then another, and another soon I had about 14 worms! When I went back inside to tell my mom and dad, my dad…

Many people have stress relievers, whether it be running, music, or even retail therapy. However, for me, nature is where I can be myself, the place I can forget about life’s problems and struggles. Although you can do many things in nature, fishing suits me the most. Fishing is calming, stress relieving, and overall therapeutic. Waking up at 4:30 in the morning is something few people will do no matter the reason. As often as I am able, I wake up an hour before sunrise. I get out of bed and…

I am reading, “The Bass, the river and Sheila Mant” by W.D. Watherell. The story is about a boy who takes his summer crush on a date, but is faced with the struggle of choosing Sheila or the biggest bass he has ever hooked. In this journal I will be questioning and evaluating. While reading this short story I am left to question will the Narrator pick the bass or Shelia Mant. I believe he will pick the bass. One reason I believe this is because the amount of time he spends fishing. In…

Our Favorite Fishing Cooler We are a family that spends a lot of time in the great outdoors. We love taking our boat out for the weekend and during the summer, we spend even more time out on the open water. For us, there is nothing better than the thrill of catching the big one, even when we do end up with just as many fish tales about the ones we almost caught. However, our fishing trips out would not be worth much if we didn’t have a good cooler along on the trip with us. That is why when we…

Throughout the short story Sheila Mant, the boy must decide between the bass and Sheila. First off the boy has a great passion for fishing. He shows this in many ways. He is committed to fishing because he says in his free time he practices different casts. In the text it states, “I was back in our driveway practicing casts, and when I wasn’t practicing casts, I was tying the line… when I was not doing any of those things, I was fishing the river for bass” (Wetherell 2). Another way to prove…

Catfish and largemouth bass are extremely different species of aquatic fish, but their ultimate natural instinct is the same. They strive to survive and produce offspring to carry on the essence of life, as all species do. Catfish are a very docile creature by nature, and their habitat ranges from lakes and rivers to creeks and little streams. They do not always need a fresh and constant supply of flowing water, but it makes for a more productive lifestyle. The catfish also needs good solid…

Last year I went on a fishing trip that would change my life. I was extremely excited to go fishing because I had only done it a few times before. But, the bad part of it is the nine hour drive to the cabin we would be staying at. I dislike long car rides very much so I was not looking forward for that part of the journey. I had to pack a bunch of clothes and supplies that I would need for the adventurous week in front of me. Before we left for the long journey I said goodbye to my mom and made…

My family and I started out the weekend by going fishing. We fished many hours and we hooked into some nice crappies. Our family’s seasonal camper on Lake Shamineau is where we spent most of our time fishing. Routinely spotted were large northern pike and muskies all while looking for schools of crappies and walleyes. Quietly trolling for walleyes, I happened to snag a small fishing rod. By the looks of it, that rod had been at the bottom of the lake for years. Our keep of walleyes was held to…
