On the edge of most of the reservoirs in the north, there are many mosquitoes, especially the kind of water that has been developed by tourism, due to environmental pollution and large-scale killing of fish in the water, mosquitoes have breeding grounds, and there are no natural enemies, so they are very rampant.

However, in some reservoirs where environmental protection is relatively good, the degree of development is very low, and the water pollution is not serious, there are very few mosquitoes and flies. This is because mosquito eggs must be laid in water, and in waters with good water quality, there are many small fish, and the survival rate of mosquito eggs is very low and very low, and all of them are eaten by small fish.

A person, a cup of tea, a cigarette, a meadow and a sky.

Hong Tao lay on the recliner, smoking slowly, his eyes watching the smoke change in various shapes in the air and slowly disperse. At this time, he didn't think about anything in his heart, just lying relaxed, he felt that this was one of the fun of wild fishing, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, away from all kinds of strife and calculations, away from everything you are familiar with, and relaxing in a very natural and quiet place.

I don't know if it was the toad or frog who shouted the first sound, and then the entire waterside and the grass behind him responded one after another, and within dozens of seconds, countless frogs began to sing in chorus, no wonder the old man often used: fell into the toad pit. This phrase is used to describe the noise of the voice.

Hong Tao had not yet cultivated to the point where he could continue to recuperate amid the roar of hundreds or thousands of toads, which were so organized and disciplined that they would open their mouths at the same time. And it is called neatly, as if it has been rigorously trained, no matter how different the timbre, all sound with one frequency and one rhythm. And then suddenly shut up at a certain point, and then suddenly come back to life again at another point, if you don't want to be driven crazy by this monotonous toad, the best way to do it is to go to sleep, or just find something to do for yourself.

Hong Tao just got up from the bed, and he couldn't sleep for a short time, so he wanted not to be stunned by the toad. I have to find something to do for myself. What to do? In this wilderness, there is neither television nor Internet, and even mobile phone signals come and go. And it's still night, and it's pitch black, so it's hard to get around.

However, these problems are not difficult for Hong Tao, how to say that he is also a veteran of the fishing ground, since there is no mouth for serious fishing, then let's play a little improper. As soon as he said it, Hong Tao first turned out two small gauze nets from several sorting boxes where fishing gear was placed, and stuffed a few pieces of lamb head meat left over from noon into the gauze net. Then stuff in a small stone as a counterweight.

Then he carried the two little nets to the water's edge, found a random place out of the way, threw the nets into the water, and pressed the string that connected the nets under a large rock at the water's edge.

This small gauze is commonly known as the shrimp cage, which is made of the window screens on the windows of our usual homes. It has two round or square wire shelves at the top and bottom, with a wire support rod in the middle, and the window screen is covered outside the two shelves to form a cage.

Cut a small opening in the window screens at each of the four corners of the cage and stuff it back into the cage. This makes a passage into the sarong from the outside, and some meat with a strong flavor is placed inside, preferably mutton or mutton bones, because they have a strong smell. It is very attractive to small fish and shrimp.

When the sarong is put into the water, the small fish and shrimp around will smell the smell of mutton, and then they will come to eat a big meal, and slowly climb into the cage from the four entrances. But this meal is not free. It doesn't cost money, but it kills. Both fish and shrimp have a fatal weakness. That is, they will not retreat, once they enter this cage, they basically can't find the mouth to get out.

After making the two shrimp pots, Hong Tao took down the lure rod from the inflatable boat and unloaded the small cage on the fishing rig, so that there were only 5 small hooks on the fishing rig, which became a simple small string hook.

After waiting for about half an hour, Hong Tao lifted a shrimp pot, not to mention, there are not many fish in this Gangnan Reservoir Hong Tao doesn't know how to go, but there are really a lot of shrimp here. It only took half an hour for 7 or 8 small river shrimp to come into the shrimp pot, Hong Tao poured them out, then picked them into a small bucket, and then threw the shrimp pot back into the water, and these shrimp in the bucket were Hong Tao's bait.

Shrimp fishing is also a method of fishing, but this bait attracts a lot of small fish, which is not suitable for most waters. However, this is also divided into times, not necessarily not used during the day does not necessarily not use at night, fishing for grass carp, carp, crucian carp is not applicable, not necessarily for fishing other fish is not applicable.

Hong Tao picked up a small shrimp, pinched the head and removed the tail, leaving a middle part of the body, and then put it on the hook to expose the tip of the hook from the shrimp meat. The 5 hooks on the hook Hong Tao only wore small shrimp on the bottom 2 hooks, and then threw the string fishing group into the water with a lure rod, and threw it not too far, about 30 meters, and the water depth was about 2 meters.

After throwing the pole, Hong Taoyou took out a pack of glow-in-the-dark sticks from the fishing gear box, which was a small plastic stick 2 cm long, which was filled with chemicals. When it is time to use it, gently break the compartment inside the plastic stick with your hand and let the two chemicals fully fuse. The small plastic stick then glows green and can last for hours, making it a must-have for anglers going wild fishing.

Hong Tao took out a glow-in-the-dark rod, lit it, and then fixed it at the front end of the lure rod with a piece of transparent tape, then moved a fishing chair, sat on the water's edge, and inserted the lure rod into the turret under the fishing chair. Because of the glow-in-the-dark rod, in the dark night, although you can't see the action of the fishing rod, you can clearly see the state of the glow-in-the-dark rod, the glow-in-the-dark rod moves, that is, the rod moves.

The fish in the water did not let Hong Tao wait for a long time, a few minutes later, the glow-in-the-dark rod shook one after the other, Hong Tao was quick to move, stretched out his hand to copy the fishing rod, shook his wrist back, let the fishing rod drive the fishing line, pierced the hook into the mouth of the bait, and then quickly shook the reel, a small fish more than one length was caught.

This fish is strange and ugly. It was dark yellow, had a large, flat head, a large mouth almost as wide as its head, and several fleshy beards. The pectoral fins on both sides and the dorsal fin on the back are almost 90 degrees outward, and if you have ever raised a tropical fish, you will definitely be familiar with a fish called a scavenger, which looks like a scavenger. The only difference is that there are no scales on the outside of the body, but a layer of slimy, like something from a loach or a yellow eel.

This fish is called Ga Fish here in Beijing, because when it is caught, it can often make a quack sound. It can be seen in most of the waters of our country, and its names are different in different places, such as yellow wax ding, gayazi, yellow thorn bone, yellow catfish and so on.

Its scientific name is yellow catfish, which belongs to the order Catfish, and is a close relative of what we often call catfish. This fish is not very large, most of them are more than half a foot long, but it is very delicious, with only one spine on its body, it is a small meat roll, and it is delicious no matter how you do it.

Yellow catfish day and night, mainly to the bottom of the water all kinds of small insects, small shrimp for food, every dusk to the early morning of this time, is the main time period for them to come out to feed, this is you can use earthworms, grasshoppers, small shrimp, animal offal and other things as bait, to catch these little guys, and they eat very fierce, up is a mouthful, bite and run, very good fishing.

But don't underestimate their size, this fish has a very powerful weapon, that is, 3 bone spurs hidden in their pectoral fins and dorsal fins, if the angler accidentally catches them with his hands, then you are finished, after being pierced by their bone spurs, you will be in pain for several days and can't sleep, there is a neurotoxin on it, although it is not fatal, but it is also very uncomfortable.

Hong Tao would not make such a low-level mistake, he had already prepared a pair of fish tongs, clamped the fish's mouth with the tongs, and then went to pick the hook.

This time, Hong Tao did not release the small fish, and threw it in another small bucket, this kind of fish is not small, it is full of meat, it is very delicious, and catching a few more is a dish. It is also very valuable in later generations, in 2012, Hong Tao once bought a few catties in a reservoir, wild more than 70 yuan a catty, even artificial breeding also cost about 30 yuan.
