Commencement is a strange word

to apply to the end of four, five, six or

more years of effort to pursue a path

of learning that has been important to

you, if not to your roommate. How-

FISHING

Flying ...to Catch a Fish

W.C. Smithwsmith@uwyo.edu

Of the many activities in which one could partake during the summer months, fishing provides a chance for any outdoor en-thusiast to enjoy nature.

Based off of stone inscriptions, scientists believe that fishing rods date back to ancient Egypt, China, England, Greece and Rome where they were referred to as “angles,” hence the synonym for fisherman, “angler.” A fishing permit is required to fish in the state of Wyoming.

To fish anywhere other than American Indian reservations and Yellowstone National Park all an angler needs is a standard license and conservation stamp, which must be bought with the license. Yellowstone and reservations require a special permit that can be picked up on location.

Either of these licenses can be bought for either a day of fishing or an annual pass that will cover the fisherman for the entire year. The non-reservation/Yellowstone licens-es can be picked up at any local fly store such as the West Laramie Fly Shop on Snowy Range Road in west Laramie. The proper equipment is always essential when tackling some-thing like fishing.

There are two basic types of fishing. One is spin-cast fishing, where the fisherman is usually on the

shore or on a boat and casts a line into a lake or river using bait that resembles minnows or small fish.

The other, fly-fishing, requires a different kind of rod, and bait that resembles flies or other small flying insects.

While fly-fishing the fisherman will cast the rod in many short jerking motions used to resemble the movement of a flying in-sect. Perez said he prefers fly fishing because it’s the form of fish-ing that can be done all year, there’s always a place to partake in it, fish are more drawn to flies and tail waters – rivers that run out of dams – provide excellent fly fishing in the winter.

He said when fly fishing, his rod of choice would be a five or six weight (meaning the weight of line or lure required to flex a fully-loaded rod) standard graphite rod of about nine feet in length.

For spin-cast fishing, Perez said he would want a six and a half foot rod with medium to fast action. There are many places around Laramie to fish.

Popular places to find fish are the North Platte and Big Laramie Rivers, and also the lakes in the plains. Mountain lakes provide fishing opportunities in the summer, and also in the winter for fans of ice fishing.

When fishing in this area, a fisherman can expect to catch most-ly Brown Trout, with Rainbow Trout coming in a close second. Many anglers feel the best policy to uphold when fishing is the catch-and-release policy.

This is where, after catching a fish, the angler lets the fish go instead of bringing it home to eat.

Though feelings about the concept of catch-and-release dif-fer from fisher to fisher, both are widely accepted among experi-enced fisherman.

“I’m a firm believer in the catch and release program,” Perez said. “But I’m not against keeping a few to consume as long as they get eaten.” The best times of the year to fish are the early summer and di-rectly before and after run-off.

Fishing is the hardest when rivers are at their deepest. The best days to fish are windless, overcast days in the early

morning or early evenings. Midday is usually too hot for the fish to be anywhere near

the surface, making catching them much more difficult. When fishing, remember that the proper equipment and condi-tions are needed to provide optimal results. Perez said the keys to fishing success are to “understand the fish, understand their habitat, and have patience.

Patience is definitely the big one.” For any questions on fish-ing, visit the West Laramie Fly Shop on Snowy Range Road in West Laramie.

In the course of only four years in India, the M. Venkatarangaiya Foundation has been able to put 500,000 children back into school, stop 1,400 child marriages and even aid in over 500 villages declar-

ing themselves completely child-labor free.

Keep a Girl in School is a fund-raising project started at the Uni-versity of Wyoming to help young girls in India get the chance to go back to school. All proceeds raised with the Keep a Girl in School proj-ect go to the MV Foundation, a

foundation that works for the well being of young girls in India.

The MV Foundation was estab-lished in 1991 in Andhra Pradesh in Southeast India. This foundation was created for the sole purpose of letting young Indian girls continue their education.

Dr. Bonnie Zare, a women’s

studies professor at UW, first dis-covered the MV Foundation during a trip to India. “I traveled there to set up the course that I bring stu-dents on. While I was there I met someone through a colleague and she introduced me to this fabulous organization,” Zare said.

The Cowboy Pagan Students Association is a fairly new, faith-based organization that’s trying to encourage tolerance and open-mindedness toward religion.

“Deity is like a diamond, and each of those facets represent a different path. And as many dif-ferent paths as there need to be, that’s how many paths there are to God, or The Divine,” Jo Aelfwine, acting adviser, said.

Aelfwine was hired by the university as an office associate for Residence Life & Dining Ser-vices in 2004 and became adviser of the CPSA when it was formed in 2006. “I’m a very open person, there’s no doubt in anyone’s mind in my department what my reli-gious beliefs are,” Aelfwine said. “I had a couple of students come to me who were living in the residence halls who wanted to talk, just feeling lonely and over-looked, so we decided to form a pagan organization on campus.”

The group took a semester to get on its feet and get organized, but once it did, members were slowly attracted.

“We started with 12 people on the mailing list, and the last time I heard there [were] 27,” Aelfwine said.

According to the recognized student organizations page on the University of Wyoming Web site, the CPSA strives “to educate mem-bers and the public about pagan-ism and to foster greater religious tolerance and understanding.”

To fish anywhere other than American Indian reservations and Yellowstone National Park all an angler needs is a standard license and conservation stamp, which must be bought with the license. Yellowstone and reservations require a special permit that can be picked up on location.

Popular places to find fish are the North Platte and Big Laramie Rivers, and also the lakes in the plains. Mountain lakes provide fishing opportunities in the summer, and also in the winter for fans of ice fishing.

When fishing in this area, a fisherman can expect to catch most-ly Brown Trout, with Rainbow Trout coming in a close second. Many anglers feel the best policy to uphold when fishing is the catch-and-release policy.

This is where, after catching a fish, the angler lets the fish go instead of bringing it home to eat.

Though feelings about the concept of catch-and-release dif-fer from fisher to fisher, both are widely accepted among experi-enced fisherman.

“I’m a firm believer in the catch and release program,” Perez said. “But I’m not against keeping a few to consume as long as they get eaten.” The best times of the year to fish are the early summer and di-rectly before and after run-off.

Fishing is the hardest when rivers are at their deepest. The best days to fish are windless, overcast days in the early

morning or early evenings. Midday is usually too hot for the fish to be anywhere near

the surface, making catching them much more difficult. When fishing, remember that the proper equipment and condi-tions are needed to provide optimal results. Perez said the keys to fishing success are to “understand the fish, understand their habitat, and have patience.

Patience is definitely the big one.” For any questions on fish-ing, visit the West Laramie Fly Shop on Snowy Range Road in West Laramie.

Of the many activities in which one could partake during the summer months, fishing provides a chance for any outdoor enthu-siast to enjoy nature.

Based off of stone inscriptions, scientists believe that fishing rods date back to ancient Egypt, China, England, Greece and Rome where they were referred to as “angles,” hence the synonym for fish-erman, “angler.” A fishing permit is required to fish in the state of Wyoming.

To fish anywhere other than American Indian reservations and Yellowstone National Park all an angler needs is a standard license and conservation stamp, which must be bought with the license. Yellowstone and reservations require a special permit that can be picked up on location.

Either of these licenses can be bought for either a day of fishing or an annual pass that will cover the fisherman for the entire year. The non-reservation/Yellowstone licenses can be picked up at any local fly store such

as the West Laramie Fly Shop on Snowy Range Road in west Laramie.

The proper equipment is always essential when tackling something like fishing.

There are two basic types of fishing. One is spin-cast fishing, where the fisherman is usually on the

shore or on a boat and casts a line into a lake or river using bait that resembles minnows or small fish.

The other, fly-fishing, requires a different kind of rod, and bait that resembles flies or other small flying insects.

While fly-fishing the fisherman will cast the rod in many short jerking motions used to resemble the movement of a flying insect. Perez said he prefers fly fishing because it’s the form of fishing that can be done all year, there’s always a place to partake in it, fish are more drawn to flies and tail waters – rivers that run out of dams – provide excellent fly fishing in the winter.

ning. But whatever you do will have

its roots in the books, courses, and

experiences you had here at UW.

Henry R. BauerUW professor of computer science

Commencement is a strange word

to apply to the end of four, five, six or

more years of effort to pursue a path

of learning that has been important to

you, if not to your roommate. How-

ever, “commencement” is the correct

word. You are at a new beginning—a

start to a new life, perhaps in a new

place, with new friends, new goals
