Return to the small mountain village in 1983

Chapter 236 Fishing Guy Never Air Force

There is very little grass along the river in winter and the trees are bare, but this open river valley is still full of interest.
After walking along a path for more than ten meters, we reached the river valley. Any piece of bluestone was at least half as tall as Lin Heng. The pebbles here were generally the size of a baby's fist, making it difficult to sprain your feet when walking on them.

This place is not very beautiful to rest or have a picnic on the bluestone, but Lin Heng is still more concerned about whether there are fish in the river here.

At this time, the river was still very pristine, and there should be an abundance of various native fish species. As a large river originating from Taibai Mountain, the Heihe River has excellent water quality, and there are many native fish in it.

Lin Heng even brought a plastic bucket with a lid, ready to catch some live animals and take them back.

Lin Heng and his son quickly came to the waterside, but at first glance they found nothing.

But this is normal. If there were so many fish, people would be worried about them.

The three of them first turned over rocks in the shallow area of ​​the river to look for them. The river water comes from icebergs and is cold in summer, let alone winter. The fish must be hiding under the rocks.

"It's so cold." Lin Heng touched the water and felt that his hands were no longer his. It was so cold.

After a while, Father Lin discovered something here: "I found a lot of catfish here. These fish are so beautiful."

No matter where you fish, you need to get a fishing rod.

Lin Heng looked around, shook his head and said, "This should be abandoned. Maybe the wild boars here have migrated or been killed."

Lin Heng grinned: "Yes, this fish is quite easy to catch."

"What kind of fish is it?" Lin Heng asked as he ran without saying a word.

"The ecology of this era is really good."

Lin Heng sighed and began to roll up his sleeves. Before his rebirth, the tigers he fished for were the ones two or three centimeters long, and he almost never saw big ones.

As soon as Lin Heng put the fish down, he heard his father exclaiming from the river in front.

Lin Yue trotted over and said.

The tickle tree is a tree used by wild boars to scratch themselves. They have various bugs on their bodies and they habitually scratch in a tree. The bark of this tree has been polished over time, and it looks very obvious, which is a way to find wild boars in the wild.

Lin Heng just glanced at it and did not go over. Native fish like giant catfish are found everywhere and are not unusual.

These plum blossoms were much larger than the ones he saw in the creek in Sanchagou, and they were estimated to weigh one or two pounds more. No wonder I heard people say that a lot of fish can be caught with fishing nets here in Heihe River every year.

He is no longer in the air force, and he feels very beautiful. I found a small beach and put the fish in it to continue investigating the situation.

"so cold!!"

"What did you catch?"

After turning over two rocks, he saw another native fish, the crocodile and the loach. He didn't care that the loach was unpalatable, but the crocodile was quite big.

"Holy shit, come here, big guy!"

Lin Heng came over to check curiously. The water where his father was was quite deep, and there was a splashing place further ahead. There is a one-meter drop between the water surface and the top, causing the area to be filled with white blisters.

There is no road on the mountain, and there are many bushes and thorns in the forest, making it uncomfortable for the three of them. But there is no way, there is only bamboo on it, the other trees are too heavy and not tough enough to be used for fishing.

The river valley in this section is wide, so you can see the bottom of the water if it is shallower on the edge. If the water in the narrow river is green and dark, fishing depends on luck.

The eldest brother Lin Yue ran over with a smile. When he saw the fish in Lin Heng's hand, he was surprised and said: "It's so big. Ten of them are enough for a plate."

After walking for more than two hundred meters, things got better. When they were about to come to this small bamboo forest, they discovered something unexpected.

Lin Heng said with a smile: "There is no hope for bream. Let's see if we can catch plum blossoms and mandarin fish today. These are fish that like cold water very much."

Plum blossom fish is also the most precious freshwater fish in the Heihe River, Qinling salmon, a type of freshwater salmon. According to scientific research, it comes from the last Little Ice Age.

With everyone here, he was too lazy to leave and started searching here.

The meat of this fish is delicious and delicious. The largest fish is more than ten centimeters in length, but the one under the stone Lin Heng turned over is actually more than ten centimeters long.

"There is a Itchy Tree here. It seems there are a lot of wild boars on this mountain." Father Lin said, looking at the tree in front of him.

Taking machetes, the three of them went to the road to chop bamboo.

Itchy Tree Wild Boar will use it every two or three days, and there will be obvious footprints and other marks around it.

"Oh, run away, run away, what a big mandarin fish."

Lin Heng shuddered and opened his palm, only to find a fat lying tiger struggling in his palm.

Just be careful not to leave any gaps when closing your hands. Lin Heng, as the village's best fish catcher, has a success rate of 90%, so he can catch fish easily.

"Under this rock, there is a big mandarin fish weighing one or two kilograms hidden. Just now I took a second look at this guy and it immediately ran to the middle."

Father Lin nodded, pointed to the hillside inside the highway and said, "Yes, let's go get some bamboo. I see there are some on the hillside over there."

Before Lin Heng arrived, he saw his father patting his thigh with pity.

Father Lin pointed at the big stone under his feet and said with great pity.

"Mandarin fish?"

The activity of this ground tiger was very low in the winter. It didn't even run away when Lin Heng uncovered the stone. It lay motionless on the sand, as if it thought it could deceive Lin Heng.

"I found a bream over there and it ran away in the blink of an eye."

Lin Heng took a look and said: "It's hard to catch even if you don't run away. This kind of fish needs to be caught by fishing. It would be great if you have one. We have a great chance."

Enduring the cold and biting water, Lin Heng put his hand in, slowly closed it from two directions, and picked up the sand together. This was a unique skill for catching small fish.

Just as he was about to leave, he saw three or four fish appearing four or five meters in front of the dense water. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Meihua, you can fish here."

But even if it is abandoned, it is enough to show that there are more and more wild boars here.

After a few glances, the three of them entered the bamboo forest to look for bamboo.

This bamboo forest was full of finger-thick bamboos, so it was not difficult to find a suitable one. One of the three picked one, and the other picked two, chopped them down, and pulled them back.

When we got to the road, we cut off the bamboo stalks and smoothed them, and then we made a simple fishing rod.

The three of them made five fishing rods and took everything to the river.

Lin Heng walked two to three hundred meters up the place where he found the mandarin fish. The water here was very deep and so green that he could not see the bottom clearly. He measured the water depth with a fishing line and it was two to five to three meters.

"I made my nest here. If you can't catch plum blossoms and mandarin fish, you can try to catch crucian carp and carp."

Lin Heng said while making a nest. The crucian carp in Heihe River is also famous for its deliciousness. Making a nest is a guaranteed option.

He felt that even a nest was not maintained, so he walked another fifty meters and made another nest.

After the nest is built, first put two self-made seven-star floating line groups on the bamboo list and throw them in the nest for fishing, with the tails weighed down by large rocks weighing thirty to forty pounds.

The three of them took fishing rods and went to the place where plum blossoms and mandarin fish were just found to try to see if they could catch mandarin fish.

"Both of these fish are carnivorous fish, so you can just hang the whole fish with earthworms."

Lin Heng gave his father and elder brother some guidance, then hung up a big black earthworm himself and threw it into the water to test the situation.

There is more than one meter of water on the edge of this place, and the splashing area is also two or three meters away. At this moment, there is no trace of fish.

Lin Yue directly threw the fishhook into the deepest water splash. Lin's father threw it in the middle, while Lin Heng found the edge of the stone and threw it because he knew that the habit of mandarin fish is to hide in the stone and ambush small animals passing by. fish. You have a high chance of catching mandarin fish using this method.

He kept trying in places with many rocks and used teasing fishing methods to try his best to let the mandarin fish find out that their habits have an instinctive desire to chase such active creatures.

Today the sky is blue, with only a few white clouds dotting it. It is already twelve o'clock at noon, and the sunlight is extremely warm.

As long as there is no river breeze, it is extremely pleasant to sit on the rocks by the river and fish. When you look up, you can see the mountains, rivers and beautiful scenery.

In the blink of an eye, the three of them had been fishing for half an hour, but no one made any movement, and they were all a little disappointed for a while.

"Could it be that these fish don't eat in winter?" Father Lin asked doubtfully.

"Yes, it's been so long." Lin Yue nodded.

Lin Heng thought for a while and said: "It's impossible not to eat. It's possible that you're not interested in earthworms. I'll get some creek groupers to give it a try."

As he said that, he threw down his fishing rod and went to look for rock groupers in shallow water. No matter which river there was, there would be no shortage of rock groupers.

After more than ten minutes of fishing, Lin Heng found the creek grouper in shallow water and used his superb fishing skills to catch four of them at once.

Lin Heng shook off the water on his hand and ran back with the bucket.

“Fish on!!”

Just halfway upstream, he heard his father's exclamation as he reached the upper reaches.

Looking up, a beautiful plum fish was pulled directly out of the water, its beautiful scales reflecting colorful light in the sun.

"Awesome, how did you catch it?"

Lin Heng ran over and asked.

"I don't know where the earthworms were hanging from the fishing rod. I saw them being pulled and moved, so I quickly pulled them up and caught the fish." Father Lin said as he took out the fishhook.

This fish weighs a kilogram. This fish is so slender that it can barely be grasped with one hand. It has fine scales and black spots on its body.

Father Lin looked at it again and again. Lin Heng took out the fish guard sewn by Xiulan and threw it into the water.

"It seems that this Qinling fine salmon also eats earthworms."

Lin Yue said with a smile that he was energetic. As long as he could catch fish, there would be hope.

"Hehe, it seems I'm lucky." Father Lin laughed, got on another earthworm and continued to wait.

What fishermen fear most is not catching a fish. As long as one catches, they can continue to wait.

Lin Heng took his pole back and the earthworms on it were intact, with no sign of being eaten. This is normal, if the mandarin fish eats it, it will be caught.

He just lamented that there are no lure fishing rods in China now, otherwise, fishing for fish such as salmon and plum blossoms would be accurate.

The hooks he used to catch these fish were all very large. He grabbed the creek grouper and brutally passed the hook through its tail so that the fish would not die and struggled in the water like an injured small fish. As long as the carnivorous fish I'm sure I can't help it when I see it.

After threading it, Lin Heng threw the fish into the water. As soon as it entered the water, the grouper swam around with the fishing line. Whenever it was about to enter the crevices of the rocks, Lin Heng took it out and threw it again.

Just when he lost the ninth time, he suddenly paused.

"I'm on fish."

Lin Heng excitedly raised the pole, and soon a big fish surfaced from the water. It had dark brown spots on its green body and shone brightly in the sun.

"Pfft!"

It turned over and plunged in again. The fishing rod was too soft and was pulled into a big bow.

"I really caught it, I'll get you a net."

Lin Yue was shocked at first, dropped his fishing rod and went to the back to get the assembled dip net.

"Not in a hurry."

Lin Heng said with a smile and slowly slid around twice, enjoying the fun of fishing.

Half a minute later, the mandarin fish was caught directly in the net.

Lin Heng took out the hook, grabbed the mandarin fish and looked at it again and again: "This fish is big, weighing two pounds. The fur is so beautiful."

Mandarin fish don’t eat much in winter, but that doesn’t mean they don’t eat. For example, this is the creek grouper that comes to their mouth.

"Awesome, today's trip is worth it." Father Lin said with a smile.

Lin Heng nodded. He couldn't bear to eat this fish. The pattern was so beautiful that it could be used as an ornamental fish.

This ferocious fish is very interactive when fed, and it is very ferocious when it eats fish.

After watching it for a long time, Lin Heng put it into the fish guard. Anyway, today's fishing in the Heihe River finally got off to a good start.

"I'm the only one who hasn't caught any. I'm going to try the creek grouper too."

Lin Yue said with a smile.

"I'll hang it for you." Lin Heng nodded, caught a creek grouper and hung it on the hook for his elder brother, and then hung another one himself.

The three of them were a little excited when they threw the bait again. This fish was easier to catch than they thought. It may also be related to the location they chose. This place is sparsely populated, and no one has ever suffered a "beaten" from society.

After fishing for another half hour, even with stream grouper, there was still no fish. This is a bit strange. Even if there are no mandarin fish, there must be plum blossoms. Why can't I catch them?

"Forget it, let's eat, I'm hungry."

Lin Heng looked at his watch, it was almost two o'clock.

"it is good."

The three of them pressed down the fishing rod with a stone, went to the back to find a big bluestone and started having lunch.

Their lunch was simple, just braised vegetables and three steamed buns from home.

The braised vegetables, braised donkey meat and half a chicken are all served cold. It is so comfortable to bask in the sun while eating.

"The more I look at this place, the more beautiful it becomes." Lin Yue said with a smile.

Lin Heng also nodded, took a bite of donkey meat and said, "The barbecue, grilled fish and picnic here are very beautiful. It's a pity that I didn't take anything with me this time."

He decided that he would bring his wife, daughter and family here to play next time he had the chance. This was an excellent camping spot.

"Come next time, I have plenty of time."

Father Lin also smiled and said that after catching fish this time, he felt that this place was good. If you can have this harvest in winter, then summer must be even more charming.

"Holy crap, the fishing rod was pulled away!!"

At this moment, Lin Yue turned around and exclaimed.

I don't know if it was not pressed properly or something else, but his fishing rod was being dragged toward the middle of the water.
