The topic that I have chosen for my COM 210 class will be “Fishing in Eastern Washington”. I chose this topic because fishing is something that I have loved from a young age, and the more I get to talk about it the better. Being born and raised in the Bay Area, most of the fishing I did there was in the delta. Now since I have a car, I am very excited to start doing some river fishing in one of the greatest places in the country to do it.

For this project, I think that collecting the materials I need will come hand in hand. I plan on going fishing once every weekend, so while I’m there I can take photos, videos, and even log how that fishing trip went. By the time the project is ready to be turned in, I will have tons of material I have taken from all my fishing trips that will work well in my project.

For the logo project, my logo definitely has to have something to do with fishing. Whether I chose to incorporate a fish, a pole, or some other fishing aspect in my logo, I would also like to mix in my initials to give it a personal feel.

For my video story, I plan on making a simple how-to video to show the basics of fishing. The video will include the best spots in eastern Washington to go, what pole setups to use, and the best tactics on how to approach catching a fish. I can either set up a tripod behind me while I am fishing or get one of my friends to film for me.

This link connects to the Spokane Walleye Club. This organization is great for learning about recent fishing reports and the best spots to fish in eastern Washington. http://spokanewalleyeclub.com/

This video made by Joey Kruse is what gave me an idea for my video story. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEEQGlW7Qgo

I found this page on Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife’s website. It is an informative article on how to river drift fish. https://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/basics/salmon/freshwater
