(MWP1 Precis 5) Rhetorical Precis on "Activity Involvement and Place Attatchment of Fish Giggers in the Missouri Ozarks--Literature Review"

(NOTE: The article used was a thesis. The section I am writing the Precis on is just the "fishing literature", a subsection of the literature review section, ranging from pages 10-14 of the linked article)

In Fishing Literature Review from "Activity Involvement and Place Attatchment of Fish Giggers in the Missouri Ozarks" (July 2010), Bryon Rochon illustrates the different subcategories of anglers ingrained into the heritage and history of the families located near the Ozarks. He first reviews the history of fishing in the region as far back as 1970, and then breaks down the data from several previous surveys taken by local anglers and identifies the different practices outside of contemporary fishing, mainly noodling. He writes in order to establish a background for the individuals who are the subject of his paper, and how their background was formed and conveyed by previous researchers. His intended audience are individuals doing research on fishing, fishers, or groups of fishers in the area.
