So far in my Senior Project, I've bought all the necessary equipment for field work. A St. Croix fly rod, Ross Reel with floating line, waders, wading boots, and a fly vest that carries all of the smaller items needed to catch trout like the flies and tapered leaders. The amount that I've sunk into the project is approximately $700 but if i didn't already have my waders and boots it could have gone up to $1,000 or more. My father and I have been practicing all the different sorts of casting and the knot tying needed to fish in tight areas and so far it been going really well. I'm enjoying this project thoroughly, but I'm not looking forward to the research paper because I've never really been good at them but i feel like i can put together a pretty good one.
My mentor interview and contract paper has been turned in on time, but i still haven't really got the chance to go practice casting or anything with him so I need to plan another meeting. Other than that its going very well with my project. One thing that i want to try and do is learn how to tie flies, because that is where the true art is in fly fishing, and to say that I can tie them and use them to catch fish is pretty cool. I'm a little nervous about my presentation only because i don't really know how to present what I've learned, but my dad is helping me out on that so I should be good. I hope no plagarism gets called on me because if it does it's completely false becasue i don't do that and this has happened to me before but it was a subconsious mistake swear to god, but i don't think Mrs. Watter believed me. Anyways i doubt its going to happen and my project is going very good and that is all i got to report. Thanks
