A FISHING TRIP 

J. Glenn Glass, 13 

One warm day last summer I went fishing in a river near my home. The water was warm and this was real sport for me.

I first went to the creek where I can get a great many minnows, which I used for bait. I was very successful in getting minnows so I set out very early the next morning.

I began fishing about eight o’clock in the morning and fished until evening, stopping only long enough at noon to eat my lunch. I fished up the river a distance of about two miles but did not succeed in catching very many fish as the water was too low and the fish did not bite well.
