Descriptive Essay: Roughdraft Trout Fishing

Essay: RoughDraft Trout fishing is a wintertime outdoor activity that only a true angler can genuinely appreciate. The long refreshing walks to the river while enjoying the peace and quiet of the woods is truly relaxing after a long stressful week. But sometimes refreshing walks are followed by not so fun, unnerving walks back to the vehicle in the dark. In the end, it’s all worth it just to be able to hold that beautiful rainbow or brown trout in your hand, if only for a moment. My first trout fishing trip with my husband was one I’ll never forget.

Since I had never been trout fishing before, I had no idea what to expect. I was beyond excited and I couldn’t wait to catch my very first trout. My husband rigged my pole up for me, I anxiously cast out my line, waited for about 3 minutes, and then suddenly, I felt like something was trying to pull my pole out of my hand.

I have caught several large-sized rainbow trout fishing in the blue. The catch and release area has some of the biggest rainbow trout than other fishing areas in that location and is the main reason it is so popular with trout anglers. Catch and release is a three-mile walk but most people don’t mind because the trail is so peaceful. A couple of years ago, my husband had broken his foot right before trout season ended. I was really upset that we were going to miss out on fishing the last week of the season. Then, I had an idea. I decided that I was going to borrow a wheelchair and push my husband, three miles to our favorite fishing spot.
