The fishing (fly fishing and cast and reel) community of Western Montana , although rather loose-knit, still holds to be thrilling, open, and friendly. There is surprisingly a large number of issues that surface when you take an in-depth look into the community itself. The majority of them dwelling around pollution and the waterways. But no to mention the over-abundance of people fishing without the proper licenses or tags. As well as the seasonal fishermen that don’t read up on the catch-and-release laws for Montana. In my opinion, there is nothing quit like fishing, whether you are participating the beautiful, articulate, practice of Fly Fishing with the ever-so-pleasing swoosh of the line. Or just simply spinning your lure out into the lake, hearing that satisfying “plop” of it hitting the water’s surface as the wind brushes gently again your face, bringing with it the fresh smell of the lake water and pine trees. To me, it is a very surreal experience. It has always been, ever since my uncle bought me my first fishing rod for my tenth birthday. I remember opening the gift and thinking to myself “what the heck am I going to do with this?” because neither of my parents nor any of my siblings were very accustomed to …show more content…
I immediately gain a bit more respect for someone I pass by on the river if they have a set of Kayaking paddles or a Fishing rod in their hands. Nintey-nine percent of the fishermen that I’ve ran into, while either paddling, or just walking down a stretch of river are some of the joy filled, most motivated people I’ve ever known. Which is most likely because they see someone else with their rod and immediately feel a connection, in a sense you aren’t just strangers anymore, you are both formal members of the same community. Conversation always flows easy as the Bitterroot and hardly ever turns sour. This actually leads me into my next topic of discussion, one of the negative aspects of the fish and fishing

Fly fishing is a fishing experience that is unlike any other. Being up in the clear mountain waters just casting away, time flies faster than ever. Even on a day when the fish aren't biting, and it just seems like the nothing can go right, just being there is enough to pass the day. Then there are those days when catching a fish is effortless, every knot that is tied is perfect, and every cast is better than the last one; those are the days that are unforgettable. There have been times when it seems as if it is getting dark after just a few casts. Fly fishing is something that everyone should try. Fly fishing and spin fishing, how are they different; how are they similar? Fly fishing is the casting of artificial flies that come in all styles
Since three-forth of the world is composed of bodies of water, it’s natural that a great number of people rely on fishing for their livelyhood or just for their recreation needs. There are numerous of fish species swimming under the lakes, seas, ponds, and rivers. Most anglers consider fishing as the delight in their purpose-driven life, a sport, as they say.
In the Maclean family, fly-fishing was portrayed as the link that brought the father closer to his two sons. Not only did the family strongly believe in their Presbyterian values, but they believed that fly-fishing was an important way to release their frustrations and just relax together every Sunday after church. In Norman Maclean’s novella, A River Runs Through It, a sport that started out as a hobby transformed into a tradition that brought discipline and structure into a family that seemed as though they would never be able to get along. In everyone’s life there is one activity that brings him or her these same feelings and emotions, it is just up to them to find it.
As early as 1914, the Government was receiving reports from the U.S. Commissioner of Fisheries on the potential impact to unregulated fishing. By 1931, serious questions were being asked about the ability of the fish to be able to continue to meet the demands and ever-increasing fishing that was occurring in the area. By the 1980s, the fishing in the George’s Banks has almost become unprofitable. (www.nefc.noaa.gov, 2004)
Around noon, my family and I head out to the dock. We each grab a fishing rod,

Fishing and hunting are alike because they are both outdoor sports that requires a heap of patience, but they are different due to variance in weather, equipment, and environment. Both sports require years of practice and knowledge of the hunters and the fisherman's rules. In the end, it is always nice to get the “big one” like a monster buck or trout. According to a recent report, patience in the sport of hunting and fishing encourages one to try and work hard to reach the goal of catching the large buck and the heaviest speckled trout. Having patience is a skill that hunters and fishermen work to improve.
“Just show me the tackle and give me some bait. Then watch me go fishing, the rest can wait.” Fishing is one of my favorite things to do. It is catching a fish for either food or simply for fun. You can do it by yourself to enjoy the peace and quiet or fish with others to pass the time. Many people think fishing is an old man's sport but I think of it differently. It has helped to form my values, most importantly patience.
There is an indescribable felling that occurs at Horseshoe Lake. It is a feeling of mild comfort and much needed relaxation mixed with exhilaration. The comfort comes from the light breeze, which quickly comes and goes while you are fishing. It is this breeze that allows your fishing line to float one way or another, thus doing the luring for you. The tall oak trees provide shade that prevents you f...
The use of a boat while fishing and some of the physics applicable to boating will be included in exploring the various ways physics applies to the sport of fishing. Other topics will include the fishing rod, fishing lure, casting, and the fish itself.
My friend had invited me along with him and his family to the ocean. It was vacation for the family, but for him and me it was the beginning of a week of serious business. We had an obsessive hobby to pursue. As avid and long-term freshwater fisherman, we were thrilled by the thought of catching those large and exotic saltwater fish we had seen on television a billion times before. Yet little did we expect there to be such vast differences between our freshwater fishing and the saltwater fishing, which we were about to pursue. We learned through trial and much error that in order to have a successful saltwater fishing experience we had to make adjustments to all the freshwater tackle, tactics, and gear we knew.
Fishing contains a wide variety of physics. when you cast you are using projectile motion and rotational motion. when you hook a fish it will often use the drag from the current agenst you. Immagine draging a fish through a swift current. You deal with the tention of your line, and the friction of the line through the guides. you also deal with friction when you use a drag.

Fishing in Minnesota is not just a hobby. It is a way of life. According to Vasil'ev(2011) “According to UN Food and Agriculture Organizations predictions, the consumption of fish and fish products will grow every year: from 110.7 million tons in 2002 to 179.0 million tons by 2015” (p. 2). This just shows how big the fishing industry really is and it would be catastrophic to the economy if the population in major fisheries were to decline even more. While a lot of people fish for recreation, there are also people that fish competitively for freshwater fish. There are thousands of freshwater fishing tournaments around the United States every year and some of them are even held in Minnesota. Minnesota
