“Speckle Trout Analysis” “Speckle Trout” was written by Ron Rash in 2005. Ron Rash was born in Chester, South Carolina in 1953; however, he grew up in Boiling Springs, South Carolina. This is a small town in South Carolina and was the inspiration for most of Ron’s stories. “Speckle Trout” is written about a sixteen year old boy that lives in a small town similar to the one that Ron Rash grew up in. The young boy thinks that he is invulnerable to everything, and he does not listen to anyone that warns him of his actions. The boy learns the hard way that he is not invulnerable and how valuable his life is when he is when it reaches the end. “Speckle Trout” …show more content…
Linwood is a very large man, and he is seen as very tough because of all the fights he has been in. Linwood has a son that is also big like him. Hubert Toomey is much like his father, and he was said to have gone to either jail or the marines for a long time. Lanny does not know the Toomeys very well, but he finds that they become a very important part in his life. There are several events that occur in this story to make up the plot. First, Lanny goes to Caney Creek to fish for some speckle trout. He only fished for speckle trout because an elderly man bought them for fifty cents apiece from Lanny. Lanny had to go to where everyone else stayed away from to catch these speckle trout. He even walked right past a No Trespassing sign and continued up the creek. Then Lanny came upon some pot plants on the bank, and he knew how much money they were worth. Lanny cut five plants down and took them to Leonard, the local drug dealer, and sold the plants for sixty dollars. Lanny knew this was easy money, so he quickly went back the next day for more. After selling the second batch of pot plants, Leonard warned Lanny that it was time to harvest and that the owners would be checking the plants soon. However, Lanny did not listen to Leonard and returned for more pot plants. He quickly learned this was a mistake when he stepped in a bear trap and found himself lying on the bank bleeding severely. Next, Lanny
At New Melones Reservoir, despite the continuing snow melt, the water level dropped another foot last week. The water clarity is good and the temperature is slowly coming up, now averaging 76 to 81-degrees. Trout are showing signs of schooling over deep water and feeding on shad minnows. Trollers have been finding trout at 40 to 60 feet with Speedy Shiners, Needlefish, and ExCel lures. Night fishermen have been doing well by anchoring over fairly deep water and lowering their light to about 20 feet. This attracts plankton, which in turn, attracts shad, which will attract larger fish. Live minnows and nightcrawlers are choice baits. The kokanee numbers may be down, but the quality is good with some going 15 to 18 inches. Bladed lures may work well in deeper water as they create vibration which will attract fish. Scented corn on each hook is important. Big trout winner at Glory Hole Sports was, again, Bob James, of Murphys, with a 2-pound rainbow caught at 55 feet in the main lake. Big catfish winner was John Tennant, of Twain Harte, with an 11-pound, 15-ounce fish caught with sardine bait in the main lake. Bass fishing is good for those who specialize in that type of fishing. Hayden Lee, of Angels Camp, recently caught a 10 pound Largemouth Bass on a topwater lure and he had no net in the boat. He and a friend were able to boat the fish for photos before release.
When rainbow trout breed the female digs a deep red which is a nest by laying on her side and flapping her tail to loosen up gravel, then she releases eggs which mix with the male’s milt (sperm) and both go into the red. Then the female fills the nest in. After the alevins (larvae) hatch they stay in the nest and absorb the sac that they were in, they now look like tadpoles but in two months they become fry which are young fish and leave the nest to feed. Rainbow trout breed around the age of two. Females can produce a maximum of 2000 eggs for every kilogram of body

The California State Fish: the magnificent golden trout. It flawlessly glides through the water, its golden underbelly and blue-green back cloaking its body, making it one with the water. Appointed in 1947, the golden trout, or Oncorhynchus Mykiss Agua Bonita, are native to California, having populated only a handful of icy streams in the Sierra. However, this concoction of color is threatened, and every year, their population lessens.

Albeit numerous fishermen endeavor to catch rainbow trout in lakes which have been "supplied" by their nearby preservation office, catching loaded "rainbows" in a lake has never truly appeared like trout fishing to me. Obviously, catching rainbow trout in a lake that has been loaded is clearly "fishing," but to me catching trout is about river fishing. Trout and rivers run as an inseparable unit with me, and there's nothing more invigorating and soul reestablishing than remaining in the moving ebb and flow of a little to medium measured river fishing for these beautiful fish. I have been taking part in this sort of fishing for over twenty years and in that time have adapted some to a great degree successful river fishing tips to utilize when endeavoring to catch rainbow trout in this way. Many individuals imagine that when you discuss rainbow trout and river fishing, it consequently implies that you are likewise discussing fly fishing, but nothing could be more distant from reality.
Many people find hobbies that they enjoy; some people find hobbies that they love and make them lose track of time. What I have come to realize is that when you truly have a passion for something, whether it be good or bad, you tend to put it ahead of other things in life. You become so skilled in this one area because it is something you truly enjoy doing. But you can take what you have learned from this and apply it to the real world. What drives me is bass fishing, to the average person this just sounds like a lazy man's weekend activity. When I was young there wasn't much to it just put bait on a hook and wait but the possibility of potentially catching a giant has kept me hooked. As I have grown older I've learned how complicated what seems to be simple task
Can someone give me a summary of this story or tell me what it is about?
Lennie is a very unitelligent man with lots of strength, and he is only living the way he is used to which causes him to experience isolation. He doesn't remember much other than a future dream of him tending rabbits on a farm. His best friend, George, takes care of him. He also kills Curley's wife because he was told to
Lenniegrabbeda woman’s dress because he thought it was pretty and he wanted to touch it. She Screams. “‘By that time Lennie’s so scared all he can think to do is just hold on’” (Steinbeck 41).

Lennie, the second main character, was a fairly large man with wide pale eyes, and because he was so big he walked heavily, with his feet dragging on the ground (Steinbeck 2). Lennie likes to imitate others, and is often told not to act like his self. Lennie is mentally handicapped, and was incapable of looking after his self (Beach). With his condition he cannot resist touching soft objects and he is prone to unintentionally getting into serious trouble (Steinbeck 4). Although Lennie has the mind of a child, he is indeed a powerful man with strong hands (Isaacs).
And...tend the rabbits... An’ live on the fatta the lan’.’” (Steinbeck, 105). This was Lennie’s dream, and he was killed while talking about how fantastic their lives would be because they were going to have their own place to live where they were their own bosses. His child-like innocence did nothing to protect him from being killed by his companion that he had travelled with for years, and his death was the most agonizing for everyone to grapple
America Has Several favorite past times such as football and baseball, but when you talk about heartland, fishing is king. And definitely one of, if not the favorite is Trout Fishing.

I would like to participate in the Society of Fellows because I am a lover of philosophy and it seems as if the Society of Fellows mix topics that intrigue me into one program, which is a great fit for me. The Society of Fellows examines the American Constitution, the same way my Constitutional Rights class discusses it, it asks more of people than to just know what the American Constitution says, but also asks what it means, and how that meaning of particular words has changed over time. This is the reason I am ecstatic about the program, being able to be a part of a program that looks at the Constitution in ways many do not try to. Also, to be able to belong to a program that does this a wonderful experience to have. Society of Fellows dissects the Constitution, and this is something I have always wanted to do with a group of individuals who has the same excitement level as I do while doing it. These are the reasons I would like to participate in the Society of Fellows.
