Freshwater

Freshwater management has been of major concern in New Zealand, particularly during the last two decades. There has been consistent decline in water quality and quantity in Canterbury during this time. Consequently, work has been made to improving the way water resources are managed.

The Unequipped Fisherman Fishing on my families 14 foot aluminum boat at Lake Ponemah, I encountered an evasive pike who evaded capture because I failed to prepare the necessary fishing equipment. I was about 8 years old at the time, but I remember every detail; from the exact time my brother father and I entered the boat, to the tree on our lucky island. I recall pulling up near the superstitious island, and dropping anchor while I gathered my preferred equipment. During my first cast, I…

At the end of the story “The Bass, The River, and Shelia Mant” by W.D. Wetherell the narrator has to make a choice between probably the biggest bass he has ever had on his line and the girl he has been trying to impress all summer. Why would the narrator choose a fish over a gorgeous girl? Simple because fishing is the narrators passion, and during the summer he would spend a majority of his time fishing the river for bass. When he wasn’t doing that he would be casting his line for practice in…

There's a man walking closer to me wearing a gray t-shirt, blue jeans, and carrying a fishing pole. Is he coming up next to me to cast out or is he going to the opposite side? The area is small near the dam and it's hard to have two or three people casting because when you cast out the river carries your lure or bait down with it, causing you to possibly become tangled. Doe's he know that? The writer was taught to ask or go somewhere else if she noticed someone was fishing in a spot. Is he there…

As time went on, I went from fishing in a small creek to the local lakes around my home area. My cousin had a bass boat and we began fishing together every weekend. From that point on I learned a began to learn a lot more about fishing, bass fishing in general. Preparation was a key thing you needed to try to have a fun successful day on the lake. Tackle and other equipment is a definite factor to narrow down that night before as you will make sure all your tackle is organized and that you…

Two lakes that I've been to is Lake Wannacut and Lake Chelan. Both are beautiful places to spend a few days. There's kayaking in the lake which is always lovely when the water is calm. Both lakes have fish to go fishing. And my uncle takes the boat on the lake. Lake Wannacut has cabins that we rent. We normally rent three separate cabins because I go camping with my cousins, aunts, and uncles. There are also tent spots we also rent one spot for the boys and another for the girls. Also Lake…

Fishing Trip My mother always said that it was better to ask for forgiveness than for permission. One day me and my friends decided to go this illegal pond at my girlfriends dads work place. Did we have no where to fish in the first place? No, we have just been bass fishing at our pond for so long we all decided to try to find another one to fish at, and Sabine Coal Mine was a great place. For one, all the ponds there were stocked with bass from top to bottom. Second these ponds were so…

Saltwater Fishing Saltwater fishing has long been considered not only one of the most appreciated forms of fishing by fishermen, but one of the most appreciated sports by people who are not necessarily salt water fishing enthusiasts. Saltwater fishing, deep sea or deep blue fishing, as it is know colloquially, is considered by many as the most rewarding style of fishing with catches ranging from wayward salmon to sharks that can weigh upwards of a few tons. Saltwater fishing is a rather broad…

Getting Started When choosing a good setup to start fishing especially for bass, I found bigger is not always better. I started out with a 7-foot FLW Platinum pole and a Quantum standard spinning reel. I found that when I hooked my first bass I hardly knew that he was on. This defeats the whole objective of enjoying the fight these great fish deliver. I then moved to an Ultra-light 5-foot Quantum with an ultra-light reel. This was more like it. Even the one-pounders felt like something really…
