Go back to the past to be the fishing king

Chapter 152 Mountain Reservoir
"If you have enough time there, let's meet tomorrow afternoon! I'll send the detailed address to your WeChat!"

"Okay! Then it's settled!" Zhang Yang agreed decisively in one breath.

In the sport of fishing, although technology directly affects fish catch, there is another point that is as important as technology, and that is resources.

The private waters not open to the outside world that Brother Cheng mentioned on the phone are the ones with the best resources.

Zhang Yang was worrying about not having a good place to shoot film material, this phone call could be regarded as a timely help.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yang stood up from his seat and got busy.

There was not much information on the phone, but it was enough for Zhang Yang to make a preliminary judgment. Before going, he needed to make targeted preparations.

There are relatively few mountain reservoirs in the north, and there are generally more reservoirs of this type in the south.

According to what Brother Cheng said, the density of fish in the reservoir should not be low, but for some reason, it is not easy to catch.

Zhang Yang’s preliminary prediction is that the terrain of the mountain reservoir is relatively steep and the water level is relatively deep, making it difficult to find suitable fishing spots.

So without hesitation, he put the nine-meter-ten-meter long pole and the float used with the long pole into the pole bag.

Afterwards, several boxes of nest materials were loaded together, and the old altar corn that the company has undergone several rounds of research and development has been initially finalized and has not yet been officially put into production and sales.

After busy work, Zhang Yang's van was soon full, and he said hello to Xiao Yi to confirm the itinerary, and only waited for the early departure tomorrow morning.

The next morning, just before dawn, Zhang Yang gathered with Xiao Yi early, drove the car directly onto National Highway 509, took the national highway and some expressways, and headed straight to Laicheng.
For a distance of less than [-] kilometers, Zhang Yang and Xiao Yi took turns driving. It took five and a half hours, and at [-]:[-] in the afternoon, they successfully got off the national road intersection in Laicheng.

I have already contacted Brother Cheng on the phone, and from a long distance away, I saw Xiaohui driving a GL8, double flashing on the side of the road and already waiting in advance.

"Brother Yang, this way!" Xiaohui got out of the car and waved his hand to say hello.

Zhang Yang parked the car on the side of the road and got off directly: "Hello Hui Shao, where is Brother Cheng?"

"Brother Cheng asked me to pick you up. He has already arrived at the hotel and has prepared some lunch. Let's go there!"

"Don't you go straight up the mountain?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yang was taken aback for a moment, he didn't talk about dinner on the phone before.

With such a good place for fishing like a private reservoir, who would be in the mood to eat? According to Zhang Yang's idea, just fool around!
"We've come so far, so we must have a light meal before we go! Don't worry, brother Cheng has made arrangements, we'll have enough food and drink to go up the mountain in the morning, and we won't delay anything!" Xiaohui said.

"Okay! Let's go, you lead the way!"

After a few brief conversations, Xiaohui got into the car and led Zhang Yang and the others to a private restaurant near the city.

It wasn't until he entered the private room that Zhang Yang saw Ye Wencheng who was waiting with a smile on his face.

"Brother Cheng!" Zhang Yang greeted politely when he entered the door.

"It's been such a long drive, are you hungry?"

"It's okay, I ate at the service area on the way! Didn't I agree to go straight up the mountain?"

"It's not too late! Sit down, all my brothers, no one else!" Ye Wencheng greeted.

It was the third time we met, Zhang Yang was not overly polite, he sat down naturally, chatted and ate.

They are all people who like fishing, and they may be in different social classes, but when they sit together, the topics are much easier to discuss. Four people at a table chatted while eating, without drinking, and quickly ate their meals.

After eating and drinking enough, Brother Cheng led Zhang Yang and the others to set off again, heading straight to Erxia Mountain in the southeast of Laicheng.

It is said to be called Erxia Mountain, but in fact it has nothing to do with serious mountains. It is barely a big bumpkin with an altitude of more than 200 meters.

Three cars and four people drove along the cement hardened mountain road, and it took about 10 minutes from the bottom of the mountain to successfully climb to the top, and arrived at the Black Mountain Pig Breeding Base mentioned by Cheng Ge on the phone.

Driving all the way, except for the cement mountain road, there are no signs or anything else, but it is different when the car reaches the top of the mountain.

On the seemingly undeveloped hilltop, there is actually a large area of ​​scenic buildings similar to a resort area. The small square for parking has two or three acres of land, all of which are paved with tiles.

Going forward, a big brand of Laicheng Black Mountain Pig appeared in front of Zhang Yang.

"Don't get out of the car, just drive forward!" Brother Cheng poked his neck out of the cab to greet Zhang Yang, and honked the car horn casually.

There was a guard at the gate, and soon an old man opened the gate from the house. The three cars did not stop at the small square and continued to drive forward.

After entering the gate, there were obvious traces of artificial repairs and layout inside, and a lot of green trees were planted on both sides. Brother Cheng's domineering directly hit the parking space at the entrance of a bungalow, and then got out of the car.

Hearing the movement of the person coming, a middle-aged man in his 50s and [-]s soon came out of the room. This man was wearing a camouflage uniform, with a firm face and a straight waist.

"Haha, old squad leader, I brought my friends to play! Everything is fine at home! This is my friend, Zhang Yang! Xiao Zhang, this is my old squad leader, Yan Jun!"

Brother Cheng hugged the middle-aged man very kindly, and at the same time introduced Zhang Yang who met for the first time.

"Brother Yan, hello!" Zhang Yang greeted politely.

"Quick, come in! Have you had lunch yet? I'll call the small cafeteria to cook some food?"

"You come here for dinner in the city, so you don't have to worry about it! We came up the mountain to rush to the reservoir, take us to have a look!

Let's talk about eating and drinking at night. If there is no accident, we will live on the mountain for two days! "

Facts have proved that when he got to the mountain, Brother Cheng couldn't resist the temptation to go fishing with his pole, so he saved even the basic politeness with his old comrades-in-arms.

"Okay! Have you brought a pole? There are also fishing guys on the terrace. I like to stay for a while when I'm free!" Brother Yan asked casually.

"That's what I said, it's just a hobby, fishing without a pole is no different from going to the battlefield without a gun, we can still make this common sense mistake!

Lead the way, don't you always say that the fish in the reservoir is not easy to catch?My buddy will give you a sample to test the water and see if it is really not easy to catch, or it is not easy to catch! "

Brother Cheng's own fishing skills are not mentioned for the time being, but with Zhang Yang, Brother Cheng is very confident. Before seeing where the reservoir is, he let out the harsh words first.

"You unload the equipment first, and install it on the electric tricycle. The road is narrow and it is inconvenient to drive!!"

"it is good!"

Soon, Zhang Yang, Brother Cheng, and Xiaohui unloaded their equipment from the car and stacked it on the electric tricycle. Brother Yan was in charge of driving, and the others followed on foot, heading towards the reservoir on the west side of the mountain top. .

Speaking of which, the distance is not too far, about 400 meters away, and the top of the mountain is covered with earth, forming a terrain environment similar to a mountain stream.

At a glance, the vegetation on the opposite mountain is lush and green. It is normal not to see the existence of the reservoir for the first time after getting off the car.

Zhang Yang followed Brother Yan, looking around the mountain reservoir while walking.

According to visual inspection, the area of ​​the reservoir should exceed [-] mu, and the overall shape is long and narrow in a north-south direction.

The position where Zhang Yang and the others stand is basically located near the middle waist of the east bank of the reservoir. Looking south, there are basically no traces of artificial construction.

But on the northernmost side of the reservoir, there is a wooden terrace. Under the terrace near the northwest corner, you can still see the reservoir dam made of large stones.

"Hey! You keep saying that it is a small reservoir, and the area of ​​this reservoir is not small!" Seeing the surface of the water, Brother Cheng said with some surprise.

Brother Yan smiled and explained: "About 35 acres! There used to be a ditch in the north, and the reservoir didn't hold so much water. After I contracted it, I built it up, the capacity of the reservoir increased, and the water surface was a little bigger!

The precipitation from the mountains on both sides has been collected into this small reservoir. As far as I know, the bottom of the reservoir should not have been dried for at least 20 years!
In recent years, I have put some fish fry into it in spring. The common crucian carp, grass bream and fat head are all in the reservoir! "

"This place is great! When I retire, I will build a hut on the mountain and fish in the reservoir every day!" Brother Cheng said seriously.

"Put it down, how old are you? I'm 49 and haven't thought about retirement yet. It's useless to talk!

To the north terrace?Where is the next shot?

There are small trails along the entire east bank. If you want to go to the west bank, I will take you there by boat, but you have to open your own fishing spots on the other bank! "

When it came to the position of the downswing, Brother Cheng cast a questioning look at Zhang Yang: "Xiao Zhang, where do you think we should choose? You are a professional in this matter!"

Zhang Yang glanced at the reservoir below and asked clearly: "Brother Yan, how deep is the water level on the terrace? What's the condition of the underwater terrain?"

"I use a [-]-meter long pole. The water level is about [-] meters, and the bottom is relatively steep. When it's hot, I always go down to take a bath, so I can get a better understanding of the surrounding underwater terrain!" Yan Ge said honestly.

Hearing this answer, Zhang Yang frowned slightly.

The bottom is relatively steep, so it is not easy to gather fish, and the water level is relatively deep. The water temperature has not fully recovered in this season, and fish naturally do not like to stay.

In terms of objective judgment, although the fishing position on the north terrace is the most comfortable, it is not suitable for fishing with a lower pole.

"What about the other areas on the east coast? Are you familiar with it? Is there a slightly shallower, relatively flat terrain?

Near the terrace, the fish mouth should not be very good this season, right?
After July and August, after the beginning of autumn in September, Yukou is expected to be better! Zhang Yang frowned and continued.

Hearing what Zhang Yang said, Brother Yan was very surprised: "I really let you talk!
There are a lot of fish in the reservoir. Last winter, I caught a big crucian carp weighing two and a half catties!But in the open air in spring, there are very few fish populations!
In autumn, it is better to catch carp in the open air. Just use fresh corn beans to make a nest, and you can easily meet big fish!The biggest one I got up weighed [-] to [-] catties!

I don't know much about other areas. There are many small shrubs by the water, and there are many wild sour jujube trees. I haven't tried them! "

Zhang Yang nodded: "The water level on the terrace is too deep, so it's not suitable for crucian carp fishing. How about this, before we decide on a location, let's test the water depth on the east bank first!"

Brother Cheng also nodded, and echoed: "Okay, I'll listen to you! Find a suitable fishing spot first!"

After finalizing the battle plan, Zhang Yang soon started to move.

I saw him take out an eight-meter-one fishing rod from the rod bag, hang up the fishing line and the float, and start wandering around the water on the east bank with it.

People who don't know how to find fishing spots seem to be quite magical, but the truth is actually very simple.

Use a relatively long fishing rod, hang a suitable fishing line and float, and try to throw the rod at different positions, front, back, left, and right, and you can roughly measure the water depth near the fishing point.

This kind of mountain reservoir has relatively steep underwater terrain, which adds a certain degree of difficulty to fishing, so special attention should be paid to choosing a fishing position.

For the next hour or so, Zhang Yang spent his time measuring the water depth with his fishing rod and looking for a fishing spot. He started to try from the middle of the reservoir area and walked all the way to the south end. The terrain was relatively steep and not at all It is suitable for making nests and fishing.

But the hard work paid off, and Zhang Yang found a relatively gentle shoal at the northeast corner of the reservoir, about 80 meters away from the terrace.

An eight-meter-one fishing rod is cast with an eight-point pole, and the water depth is roughly two and a half meters.

Tried the front, back, left, and right respectively, the water depth did not change much, and the water depth did not exceed three meters at the farthest point when the rod was fully thrown.

Compared with the water depth of five or six meters at other locations, this small area is probably the only fishing position on the east coast that is suitable for fishing.

"The water level here is quite suitable, otherwise, let's stay here!" Zhang Yang wiped his forehead with his cuff and said.

"Okay! I'll listen to you! There are a lot of sour jujube trees here, Cao Te. Clear out the fishing spots first!"

Brother Cheng took out a folded and assembled engineer shovel from the fishing box, put on cotton gloves and started to swing it.

One side of the engineer shovel is fronted. It is very easy to chop this kind of jujube tree that is as thick as an index finger. With three strikes, five cuts, two cuts and one call, the fishing spots more than ten meters away from the shore are quickly cleared.

"Tsk tsk, your engineer shovel is really good!" Zhang Yang said while helping to clean up the felled trees.

"Of course, this is a military product that I entrusted a friend to get from the original unit. It is not the same as the three-headed, two-hundred-dollar toy sold on the market! Do you like it? I will help you get one later!"

"That's a good relationship!" Zhang Yang was not polite to Brother Cheng either.

After clearing the felled trees and weeds aside, Zhang Yang and the others began to move down the equipment.

In this kind of environment, of course, the first choice is to build a fishing platform. The three people built three fishing platforms with a size of 100×120 next to each other in this area of ​​more than ten meters, and each got busy preparing.

Setting up the pole, adjusting the drift, finding the water depth, and a series of preparatory actions were completed. Brother Cheng and Xiaohui stopped when they were making a nest.

"Wozi and hand food, you can do it! Xiaohui and I are laymen!" Brother Cheng said very self-aware.

Zhang Yang nodded: "Okay, I'll take charge!"

After saying this, Yue Feng opened the fishing box, took out seven or eight bags of nest-making wine rice from it, and quickly got to work.

It stands to reason that at this time point before May [-]st, if you mainly fish for crucian carp, you don’t need to make heavy nests. After all, the water temperature is relatively low and the activity of the fish is not great, so you can just keep some food in the nests.

However, Zhang Yang's nesting strategy today is different from common sense.

After finally coming to this kind of private waters to fish, he wants to make a big one!
