In the early morning, in the dense woods, the morning fog has just lifted, the sun rises in the east, and the bright red light shines through the branches and grass, and begins to dispel the chill left by the night.

Located in a wetland with several large and small lakes nearby, the Cabarega Forest Park is naturally home to a few tributaries and puddles.

Near one of the tributaries, there is a muddy dirt path, and as the sound of engines gradually approaches, two mud-strewn off-road pickup trucks are driving out of a tuft of grass more than a meter high.

The thick and powerful sound also startled several birds hiding in the grass.

"Brother De, why did you stop? We're on the ground?"

Seeing Wood stop the car on the side of the road, Yang Zi opened his mouth to ask.

"Well, if the map is correct, these puddles are a river a little further along.

On the edge, this tributary is one of the larger, so let's try it here!"

After comparing the map, Wood nodded, then pushed the door open and walked down.

Seeing the other party get out of the car, Yang Zi asked Qiaoqiao to continue to stay in the car, and he followed along.

At this time, Tan Ziqing and the others in the back also got out of the car, and everyone was observing the surrounding environment together, while Wood walked towards a few puddles on the side of the road and began to explore the road nearby.

It was a slightly open area, with a dense forest on the right side of the path and a few clusters of shrubs and thatch on the left.

In the vicinity of these one-person tall grass and trees, there are two small puddles, an area of about ten square meters, and the edges of the puddles are all yellow soil.

"Brother De, do people come here often? Even the grass on the ground has been trampled on. ”

Looking at the bare ground, Yang Zi was a little puzzled.

"It's not a human, it's an animal that has stepped on it, and there are a lot of footprints on the side!

This is supposed to be a drinking spot where animals often come to drink, so be vigilant, and I'll go there and look for the river to see if I'm taking the wrong route. ”

Pointing to a few fragmentary footprints beside him, Wood recounted his findings, looked around, then went back to the car, grabbed a machete, and began to walk towards the thorn bushes on the side of the puddle.

"Thorn! sting!"

Wielding a machete, the thorn bushes and tall grass that had stopped in front of Wood fell in patches, quickly clearing a passageway.

He leaned over and walked a few more meters, and after stepping over a few fallen and decaying trees, a deep and gentle waterway suddenly came into view.

The width of the river is not large, only about twenty or thirty meters, and the banks are overgrown with weeds and trees.

In the deep river, there are many decaying trees, and a few black strange rocks are stranded nearby, blocking the sediment washed down by the river, but it has formed a relatively good foothold.

Glancing left and right, Wood noticed nothing else, and then turned back to the puddle.

At this time, Yang Zi and several of them had already gotten out of the car, and they were pointing around one of the small puddles, talking about something.

"Yang Zi, the place is right, the past point is the river, but the environment is a little unsatisfactory, you will go and see for yourself later!

What's the matter? What are you looking around this puddle?"

As he spoke, Wood walked over to the puddle.

"Hehe, it's just an accidental discovery, maybe it can save me a lot of effort.

I expected the environment or something, in this primeval forest, it would be very face-saving to be able to go down the pole.

Let's go over and have a look. ”

Seeing Wood come back, Yang Zi didn't pay attention to the puddle anymore, but walked towards the river that the other party found.

"It's strange that there is such a wide river in the woods, but there is too much wood sinking in the water!

Brother Yang, can you still fish here?"

Tan Ziqing looked around with a sporting rifle on her shoulder, and she disagreed with the river environment.

"It's okay, the equipment I brought this time is relatively strong, and when the time comes, I won't let go of it, and I will directly control the direction of the fish. ”

Yang Zi is very optimistic about this, and he has not been affected by the environment at all.

He also observed the terrain here, and it was an ideal habitat for fish, and as for whether there were large bass, you had to fish for it to know the result.

After confirming the place, everyone went back to the car to pick up their equipment and began to pack up their equipment.

Three sections of solid carbon and follow the rod, the joint also has a tighter mouth, the tip of the rod is the thickness of the little finger, to the bottom of the two sections directly become the size of a rolling pin, looking very bluffing.

On each rod body, there are several cable loops stuck in it, from top to bottom, from small to large, and there are wire grooves on the wheels, and they are all the kind with bearings.

The reel is relatively simple, a large drum reel with a violin string-like line wrapped around it, less than 1 mm in diameter, which is softer than ordinary fishing line.

These lines belong to special fishing lines, which are specially used to catch big fish at sea, don't look at the silk line outside, in fact, there is a thin steel wire inside, which is completely strong enough to hang people.

Before Yang Zi set off in China, considering that the fish required by his task were too large, he specially asked the owner of the fishing tackle shop in Fujian to prepare a few rolls of this particularly expensive fishing line for him.

After all, as the saying goes, sharpening a knife is not a mistake for a woodcutter, but he has been out for so long that he has not been able to use it once.

After the fishing rod was prepared, all that was left was the bait, Yang Zi took out a secret net from the rod bag, and returned a bottle of earthworms, and then walked towards the small puddle they were looking at in front.

This bottle of earthworm was dug by the local children at his expense yesterday, and he was going to catch small fish for bait, but now he has a better way.

"Brother Yang, are you really going to fish? Can this be done? Why do I think it's a little unreliable?"

Tan Ziqing basically had nothing to do with him all the way except for the current driver, and at this time, he saw Yang Zi carrying a copy net and walking back, so he asked.

"Hehe, I said I could get it, but you didn't believe it, so come with me to see it.

By the way, Ah Ling, you two should have one too! It's better to shoot the process of catching bait. ”

Seeing that Tan Ziqing's face was full of doubts, Yang Zi didn't say much, directly called him and Ah Ling, and then rushed to the biggest puddle in front.

The water is about half a meter below the ground, and the depth has not been confirmed, but it should not be too shallow.

Now that the rainy season has begun to pass, the riverbed and water level are slowly declining, and these puddles will dry up completely after a while.

When all that is left is muddy water, it becomes a mud bath center for the animals, who come from all over and roll around in the mud pools, covering themselves with a layer of armor, and at the same time stepping on these puddles deeper and bigger, as do the mud puddles around them.

When the water starts to rise in the rainy season, some of the fish in the breeding season like to come to this mud pit to spawn.

When the eggs hatch out of the fish, if you are lucky, you can leave here and return to the river, and if you are unlucky, when the water level recedes faster, it will become the current puddle, densely packed with a pool of fish.

Tan Ziqing didn't understand the situation, and felt that such a small pool had very limited fish, so Yang Zicai asked him to come over and take a look.
