A Fly-In Fishing Trip
It was the summer going into my sophomore year of college and my father and I decided to spend some time together before leaving. We had decided to take a fishing trip. We both love to fish and have spent many hours together in a boat, but never really caught anything to brag about.
My father had joined Walleyes Unlimited through a close friend of his he has known for a long time named Bill Weaver. There was an opportunity to join Bill, his son Bryce, and about twenty others from Walleyes Unlimited, for a six-day, seven-night fly-in fishing trip to Manitoba, Canada. My dad didn’t even hesitate. He booked us both to join them for the second week in August.
A couple of weeks went by and the time finally came to head north into Canada. We hit the road around 6:00 am and had a caravan of about eight cars driving in single-file order. Our first stop was the border, of course, and then Winnipeg, which is about a three and a half to four hour drive. We all picked up our licenses and headed toward Bissett. You probably haven’t heard of Bissett before because it is an extremely isolated, scarcely populated town located at the very end of the road if you are heading north of Winnipeg. The town has a population of about fifty people in addition to an abandoned gold mine. The only accommodations there were a motel with bar, a bread and breakfast, and a little store that carried very few groceries.
We split up the caravan, half stayed in the hotel and half at the bed and breakfast. Since I was nineteen at the time, I was able to hang out in the bar with the adults since the drinking age here was only eighteen. It wasn’t much of a bar: beer, booze, a jukebox, and pickled eggs, but what more do you need. Afte...

...ad never seen a fish so big in my life.
So, for the next three hours or so, we tried to fish for some northern, but we had no luck.
I had had the time of my life those first three days, and it was only half over. But the time came to finally leave and head back to the “real world”. I was lucky enough to ride in the twenty-passenger plane with my dad.
I hope I have given some good detail of what a fly-in fishing trip is all about. The name of the place was called Shining Falls Lodge in Manitoba. I hope whoever reads this will realize how great of an experience this was and I wish everybody could experience it at least once in their life. From the unlimited walleyes to the beautiful scenery, Shining Falls is the place to be. If you can’t make it here, I am sure wherever you go on a fly-in in Canada will be just as spectacular. I know I will be heading back as
Roosevelt would issue Executive Order 9066, giving the United States government power to imprison anyone considered a threat to the safety and America’s national security. Although Italian and German-Americans fell under this Executive Order, the largest population affected, would be Japanese-Americans. With quick enforcement, without trial or justification, Japanese-Americans would be singled out, simply because of their race. America’s hatred of the Japanese and anger over the attack in Pearl Harbor (Dec. 7, 1941), would demonize over 110,000 Japanese-Americans, to include men, women and
Dad, Deb and I hiked up the steep hill to the venerable old hotel, Chateau Laurier, to be sure it was okay to dock for the night where we had tied up. We also made dinner reservations at Madame Burger’s across the Ottawa River in the town named Hull that has since been renamed Gatineau. A cab drove down to the Consuelo and took us to dinner. We stopped into the Chateau Laurier for a nightcap before retiring to the boat for some much needed sleep.
Bitcoins emerged following the 2008 financial crash where banks were accused of mishandling clients’ funds, duping them and charging abnormally high fees. This prompted innovators to think of a way of solving the issue so that it would not happen again in the future. As a result, bitcoin pioneers thought of creating a currency that would put the transacting parties only in charge of their finances by eliminating middlemen, cancelling interest fees and ensuring that transactions are transparent. Bitcoin was therefore invented to facilitate the efficient transfer of money between two parties with no intermediary in-between at a cheaper cost and higher speed. Since their creation in 2009, bitcoins have grown tremendously. During the launch in 2009, bitcoins were worth a few cents, but as of January 2018, a single bitcoin was trading at about
Bitcoin is a digital currency that was started in 2009. It is a digital representation of currency with no actual tangible representation. Bitcoin, commonly abbreviated as BTC or XBT, is distributed worldwide, decentralized digital money (also called cryptocurrency). It is decentralized, meaning it is not controlled nor backed up by any government, country, or individual entity. Unlike traditional currencies, such as dollars and euros, bitcoins are issued and managed without any regulation from any central government. Thus, it is more resistant to inflation and corruption. A Bitcoin derives its value basically from the demand and usage of bitcoins, similar to a stock. Bitcoin doesn’t derive its value from the government; it derives its value from the people. The more that use/accept it, the more of a demand there for it, and the more valuable it becomes. Bitcoin is controlled by the people; you are your own bank. Transaction terms are determined by the user. Bitcoins can be bought with credit cards, PayPal, bank transfers, or even going to a local bitcoin exchange and buying them with cash. A person can acquire bitcoins as a payment for goods or services, purchase them with real money at a Bitcoin exchange, exchange bitcoins with someone you know, or earn bitcoins through performing mining services for the network. It has value and can be exchanged for real physical money, it’s valued exchange rate goes up and down like a stock, and it’s traded online like PayPal, but it is none of these. It’s widely considered as the future of world currency, but also scrutinized as a gateway for illegal activity. So which is it?
Since the early 1800's, Native Americans fished the spring and fall salmon runs, the water's edge, and the shore of the Columbia River. Later, small cable cars built by fish buyers linked the shore to the islands. They used two types of dip nets: one was stationary, the other movable through the water. The dip nets attached to poles ranged from 15 to 25 feet in length. There were about 480 fishing stations around Celilo Falls. Fishers built wooden platforms out over the water catching salmon that weighed up to sixty pounds. The wood platforms were very wet and slippery so the men had to be really strong. The men tied themselves with ropes that they tied around their waists in the event that they fell in the river.
Even now, almost eighty years after the war, Japanese-Americans still receive criticism for what their ancestors did during that time. Most restaurants and stores put up signs that read things like “No Japs Allowed!” or “We Don’t Want Any Japs Back Here-EVER!” After World War II in the year 1948, President Truman signed the Japanese-American Claims Act. This act was a way to compensate Japanese Americans for their economic losses due to their forced evacuation. "Although some $38 million was to be paid out through provisions of the act, it would be largely ineffective even on the limited scope in which it operated."
Bitcoin is an electronic currency created in 2007 by an unknown person using the alias Satoshi Nakamoto. While he is on record as living in Japan, it is speculated that Nakamoto may be a collective pseudonym for more than one person or as Hongkiat suggests “that his name was just a mashup of popular Japanese companies, (SAmsung, TOSHIba, NAKAmichi, MOTOrola)” (HONGKIAT , 2016). In 2008 Neal Kin, Vladimir Oksman, and Charles Bry file an application for an encryption patent application. This came problematic when all three individuals deny a connection to Satoshi Nakamoto. After all three individuals were cleared, the patent for encryption was granted and later that year Bitcoin.org was born! “The domain was registered
As the second largest lake in the state, Mille Lacs Lake is a popular fishing destination all year round, but it's a spectacular location for ice fishing with its multitude of access points all around its seventy-four miles of shoreline. In addition, it's only about a hundred miles from the Minneapolis-St. Paul area so it's convenient to reach. Ice fishing is a popular pursuit on both the northern and southern sides of the lake. Moreover, with well over 5,000 ice fishing houses and plenty of access to lodging, special packages (if you don't prefer the do-it-yourself fishing trip), and even guides, Mille Lacs with its ready-to-bite northern pike, walleye, muskie, jumbo perch and small mouth bass is well worth braving the elements to fish!

As if to conclude our white water rafting adventure, members of my family began recalling which parts of trip they liked the most and which parts they disliked.
