Dry Fly Vs Wet Fly
The fly you will be fishing will depend on the type of watter you are fishing, if you plan to fish fast rough watter you sould use a wet fly. The reason for this is so your fly will get down to the depth of the fish. In many cases you should use a dry fly on calm slow deep watter so you can see the fly the whole time and if a fish makes a move for the fly you can see it because there will be a boil in the water thats why a dry fly is good in still watter so you can see all the action of the fly.
In my experience with fishing the wet fly and dry fly i really love fishing both types. But in my oppion i would have to say i like the dry fly better becasue you get more action out of your fly and can see if a fish moves for your fly at all. also it is really cool to see your fly floating alone the top of the river. but the wet dly has many good points also because you have no idea when the fish is going to take all you feel is a big hit on your fly and the watter boils, then you no you have him on. also when fishing a dry fly you are more lickley not to hook the fish that good because when a fish takes the dry fly you have to set the hook and many people pull the hook to hard and pull it right out of the fishes mouth or not set the hook hard enough and the hook comes loose
So the next time you are out fishing the beautyfull miramichi river and you get a chance to fish wet and dry fly try both types and let me no what you think?

Poverty
The author of this story is Peng D and Albany, NY. When reading the story "Poverty" I found that during the first paragraph of the story the author did a really good job of getting the main point out first thing, so you understand what the main topic is. When i first started reading this arcticle it really caught my attention when the author starts talking about " Enjoying your new shoes and clothes? Enjoying your food, coffee, and leather couches? Well, as we sit comfortably here in the U.S., think about the rest of the world where our great wonders and daily supplies come from". This story is a five paragraph story on poverty.

Five Basic Steps for Fly Fishing
First of all, you must tie on the proper fly for the type of water you may be fishing. In my previous years of fishing the Atlantic salmon a fly that has always worked well for me was the size 10 green machine with crystal flash for a tail. That is your first step, to choose the proper fly which you will be fishing.
The next thing you must do is to take the fly off the end of your rod and start letting out line until you have out about 17 feet. After this, you should keep hauling line out of your reel while casting until you have a comfortable amount to fish with.
One more thing to improve your chances of hooking a salmon is when you make a cast you should cast your line slightly down from you. The reason fishermen do this is so your fly will get lots of action in its swing and make the fly look more lifelike. After your fly is just about done its swing you should start pulling it in toward you again. This way the fly never stops moving from the time it hits the water until it’s in the air.
Sometimes fish won’t take the fly. They will just take a look at it and at the last minute change their mind because the fly just didn’t look right. So if you ever roll a fish the best thing to do is try the exact same cast in the same place one more time. If nothing happens that time you should take 3 steps back up river. Try the fish once more and just keep fishing like you were before. If nothing happens that time you could simply change your fly and cast slightly up river from where the fish was before. This makes your fly swing a little faster and presents it different to your fish. This almost always works.
So the next time you're out in the river wondering why that salmon won't take, just think about what I just told you and I guarantee you if you follow the steps in my article, you will have a lot better luck fishing the Atlantic Salmon.

The walk
One Day I decide to make my way around the block for a little stroll.
I found an interesting little hut I decided I would take a look. Inside I found very interesting objects, items I have never seen before. One item that shocked me was this old man and he was smoking fish in big oven typed thing. So I decided to stay around for a bit. What a treat the fish was.
My next stop was this little pond, as I was admiring my self in the pond I saw this little trout swim by quickly HOLY FUDGE I said im going to catch this little bugger so I jumped in. What a racket, little did I no I couldn’t swim so I figured yeas sir im gona drowned just as I was going to take my last breath this big hand grabbed me and drug me out quickly. “WHAT ARE YOU DOING HE YELLED” quickly I found a new friend (Jethrow)
Jethrow explained to me that he had to mow the lawn. So I figured sure ill help why not. I was doing a really good job I thought all of a sudden I herded I mixture of screams. Yelling and cat meowing oh my god I thought I junked the lawn mower, it was worse I killed Jethrows cat fluffy. That was it I took off like a shot I said to my self I did enough damage for one day.
Finally I got to my house when I told mom the story she sent me to bed. She said I think a little fresh air well do you good. She said your going out tomorrow again, oh dear I thought.

Blackville Talon
Dear Mr. Carter
I am applying for the position of a writer for the Blackville talon news paper.
You well not have to worry about the writes ups on school events being on time.
I would really like to have the job as a sports writer for the Blackville talon, I believe that I would do a really good job because I play sports and I really enjoy working with a team, in writing a news paper there is a lot of team work required.
I believe that I would be a great advantage to your news paper, one reason for stating this is that I am in grade 10 English and my mother is a high school English teacher. I am very capable of getting my teacher and my mother to help me with the piece of writing that I am preparing for the Blackville Talon.
I would just like to thank you for taking you time to read and consider my job position proposal.

The Big Change
The movie freedom writers takes place in the early 1990's, Hilary Swank also known as Mrs. G plays the roll of a new excited school teacher. who leaves the safety of her hometown, Newport Beach, to teach at a High School in Long Beach, where there are many troubled students which she helps out alot, students of all backgrounds and races are put in classes together.
When watching the flm freedom writers I brought to mind an other film that was really simular and the name of this film was "The Substitute" It was all about the same school situations but over all i really injoyed the freedom writes the most.
In my oppion I found the Mrs. G or Hilary Swank did an excelent job of portraying the charter of a young new caring school teacher, who wants no more than for her student to succeed in life and try to live to be 18. Later on in this movie the students are moving on and they want mrs. G to move on with them and sure enough she well be there teacher untill they graduate.
For my closing and final pargraph I would just like to talk about the theme of the movie I belive that the theme of this movie is just to be your self and not to judge a book by it cover. metaphorically speeking Mrs. G was the book at the first of the movie and none of the students liked her and by the end they all loved her and didn't want to move on with out her.

The Mustang
I quickly put away my cleaning supplies in the garage and then race into the house for a quick shower. I know that I have to hurry because I promised to pick up my friends, Colby and Brandon by 10:00 o’clock because we are taking my Mustang to the drag strip in Miramichi. It’s my first race with this baby so I’m a little anxious.
The drive into Miramichi goes by as if I’m in a daze. When we arrive at the racetrack it is only 12:30 but there are already hundreds of excited fans making their way to the bleachers for a good seat. My friends and I chat with some of the other drivers but I have to admit that I have trouble concentrating because of the butterflies in my stomach.
It feels like forever before it is my turn at the starting gate. I am relieved to find out that I am racing against a faded red 1970 Cheval SS with a 396 motor. My baby has a 351 motor with cold air intake, a positive traction rear end and a performance chip to give it that little extra juice.
As I pull up to the starting line I take one quick glance in my rear view mirror. I see Colby and Brandon grinning from ear to ear and giving a thumbs up to wish me luck. In my heart I don’t really think the old Cheval will be much of a challenge but I can still feel tiny beads of sweat forming on my forehead and upper lip.
With a skilled movement of my sweaty right palm, I shove the clutch in, rev the RPM’s to 4200 and then pop the clutch. I leave my opponent in a cloud of white smoke with nothing but the aroma of burned rubber to keep him company. My Mustang takes off as if old faded red is sitting still. With my heart pounding still harder in my chest I check my tacometer. It reads 4400. Suddenly, with practiced precision I jump the clutch to 2nd…3rd… 4th. It’s over and I smoked him (in more than one way).
When I reach out for the black and white checkered flag my adrenalin rush continues as I see hundreds of people clapping and hear the wild cheers from the bleachers. I guess Ford said it best when he said, “Ford Mustang, built for the road”.
