I have to write an argumentative/persuasive essay about a controversial topic. I don't like any of the prompts that the instructor provided. I want it to be outdoors related. I have until the end of this class to come up with a topic. Any ideas?

I also had to write the same type of paper in college. I wrote it on to hunt or not to hunt. just an idea!

uhhh catch and release vs catch and grease comes to mind.

Hetch Hetchy Reservoir

The quality of different braid fishing lines.  Im sure Dan: would make a great reference if you need help.

Make it on: Catch and Release.

I am with everybody else.  Do it on catch & release.

The ethics of fishing during for spawning bass.

Thanks for the ideas. I only had about an hour to come up with something. Everyone else was writing about immigration or abortion. I wanted to do something different. I couldn't use catch and release because I don't always practice it myself. Fourbizz, I had never heard of Hetch Hetchy Reservoir, but I spent an hour reading about it tonight. That would have been a good subject. Anyway, I ended up choosing a topic that is not related to the outdoors, but something I feel very strongly about...the BCS.

I am no tree hugger, but the flooding of Hetch Hetchy Valley honestly makes me sick to my stomach.
