Personal Narrative Essay: Salmon Fishing
Fishing

A Lot of people go out on the lake every year to go salmon fishing; I am one of them. I go out salmon fishing every year with my grandfather and brothers. I am an avid angler and fisher whenever I get the chance. what happened this day was something I had never expected to happen.

My mother took my brothers and I over to one of my mom's coworkers (and good friend’s) house on the white river. whenever we went there we knew we were either fishing or kayaking. I have never done them both at the same time, but this day, I guess I did both of them.

Floating down the white river being a ten year old, I flew ahead of the group and was just floating when I saw a really

    Personal Narrative Essay: Entering The Woods On The Trail

    I followed and Tim held the anchor position, last. The cloud cover continued to move into the area from below the mountain, and all the while I was keeping close tabs on it, I periodically attempted mental telepathy to possibly produce a glimpse of the surrounding peaks somewhere through the white layer. The chances still looked grim. After being in the vicinity of the lake for over an hour, I sensed Tim could be stalling, waiting for that lucky break in the clouds. If he was stalling, that I would have been okay with that as I’m sure a glimpse of Pillchuck’s peak would have been quite the spectacle. Ahead, a section of land jetted out to a point on the lake’s edge and something on it had caught Tim’s eye .Leaving the trail, I watched him navigate down onto the point at lake level where he began surveying the area. As I followed, I quickly understood what attracted him. The landscape and layout was another prime camp location. Our time on the point was short, gazing at the different views and taking pictures. Staging us looking into the sun, Tim took a few pictures of Holly and me, and in turn I snapped a few keepsakes of…

    Personal Narrative: Niagara Fall

    Last summer my family and I saw niagara falls, we put on yellow raincoats and rode on a tour boat, maid of the mist , up the river below the falls. As the water thundered around them, the guide told them that Anna Taylor a daring schoolteacher was the first person to ever ride over Niagara Falls in a barrel. My stomach turned upside down as I imagined her plummeting over the edge. Then I thought of our own teacher going over the falls in a barrel, I laughed out…

    Analysis Of The WCU Fly-Fishing Club

    Cole, Tyler, and our faculty adviser, Dr. Andy Hansen decided that we, as a club, would have a cookout on the Tuck and a learning session for the newcomers to the sport on the fourth. In the days leading up to the fourth I became more and more nervous for a myriad of reasons, the biggest was because I was worried about judgment from my peers. Before I knew it, the big day was here, we made our way to Dillard road, where we were meeting, to find a few of the members standing around. The socializing really helped calm my nerves, everyone was friendly and very easy to get along with, which are my type of people. Soon enough the cookout was over and many of us paired with some of the more conditioned fishermen to teach us the best ways to fish. I made my way down the river with Tyler and three others to a spot that I’d like to call a “honey hole” where there were about fifteen fish in a small area. As Tyler put one of us on a fish he would bring another one of us in to try our hand. Soon after, my turn came around and for the life of me I could not keep a fish on the line long enough to land it. Suddenly, everything changed. I got my hit, I kept the pressure, and I landed my first trout with a fly-rod, it was by no means impressive in size, but I was so proud of that rainbow-colored fish. Ever since then I can no longer wait until I can get back in the water to catch an even larger sized and quantity of…

    Arriving at the river, I abandon discretion and resolve that this morning I’m going to wade wet. With my pulse quickening and clutching my rod and fly pack, I venture forth on a quest for one of my favorite and secluded fishing spots. Covertly slipping into the river before the break of day, I finally relax and in the dim predawn light experience a moment of intimacy with God’s…

    Personal Narrative: Fishy Beach

    It tasted like fishy beach. Texture-wise, it was firm, it wasn’t too bad, but it tasted like beach. A better way to explain is, when you pick up an old seashell at the beach, and you smell something inside it living. You might think it was a Hermit Crab or something, but it might have been a sushi. After I ate the first one, I couldn’t eat the second one; my parents looked at me as if I was crazy, but it was actually that terrible. When I slid the plate over to my father, he gave my mom and my sister the same exact look.…

    This was my very first high adventure since I joined the boy scouts, and we were going on a three day canoe trip in the Ozarks. I was so nervous because the trips I had been taking were only day trips, and I ran into a log on one of those trips and almost flipped. We were in deep water too, so no one could help us. So I have had a bad experience with rivers ,but I was determined to conquer the Missouri Current River. I love the outdoors and the creatures that live outside, so I was excited to see that. I was still nervous I would somehow screw up.…

    Personal Narrative: My Interest In Marine Life

    I have a deep interest in the ocean and marine life, which was fostered when my family and I moved to the Pacific Coast. This interest grew further after I went on a backstage tour to the aquarium at the Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo. Due to this continuous exposure to the ocean and the creatures that live there, I am focusing my education around my interest in marine life. It's for this reason that I’m majoring in Marine Biology with a minor in Chemistry. With this education, my goal is to become an Aquarist, and build my way up to becoming an ocean or aquarium diver. As a diver, I want to have the opportunity to study coral reefs, and create and implement conservation plans. In addition, I want to study sea turtles and ways to conserve their declining…

    narative essay about parasailing

    After we were all on the boat we had to go through a beautiful inlet that lead out into the ocean. We were then instructed on how put our life jackets and harnesses on. The instructor decided that I was going to be the first one to go up in the air. I made my way to the front of the boat and sat down on the deck so he could hook the parachute to my harness. Without a warning he let the parachute go and then I was ascending up into the air almost felt like the speed of light! As I was going up, he shook the line to scare me. Finally when I reached 500 feet, I could see the shore line. It was a breath taking view. I could see giant sea turtles and I even saw a shark. I was in the air about 30 minutes. Then I started descending down. When I was close to the boat, he dunked me into the same water where I had just moments earlier seen the shark and the sea turtles.…
