A long time ago, I heard someone say that several Chongqing families teamed up to spend the winter in Maitreya.

In this family, there are several men who like fishing. The fish they catch every day is one of the main dishes for dinner... so they think Maitreya is good at fishing.

Now when I arrived at Maitreya, I realized that if there were only a few small fishes, it would not be a lie.

There are many places where you can fish in Maitreya. It is not difficult to catch fish for your grandchildren, but if you want to catch fish that can be used as a main dish, you need to spend money to fish in the gambling pond.

Influenced by that rumor, many people who vacation in Maitreya bring a bunch of high-end fishing gear.

Fishing for cat cubs and fish, anti-aircraft cannons to kill mosquitoes.

Hey, I also carry an anti-aircraft gun.

Take a look at the local fishing friends: On Sunday, two local children swung their poles and fished at the outlet of the lake.

Lifting the rod, pulling bait, and picking fish are so skillful that many experienced fishermen are not as good as them.

In terms of total numbers, all the fishing friends at the lake that day were also second best; a bamboo stick less than one meter long, a nylon line about one meter long, a fishhook with earthworms hanging on it, and not even a lead pendant, the old man squatted by the water

, throw the hook into the water, and depending on the feel of the hand, a "big eye" of about 50 grams will be hooked, and soon another one will be hooked.

The old man is from Maitreya, a village near the lake, and his accent is hard to understand. He basically says that when he is free every day, he comes to fish for two hours at nine o'clock in the morning, and he will have fish to eat at noon; and he also catches fish with his bare hands.

While walking by the lake, I saw two young men walking slowly by the lake and looking at the water. Suddenly, one young man crouched down and stretched out his hand quickly. When he pulled his hand back from the water, he saw a tilapia in his hand.

I praised the young man for his agility. The young man replied sheepishly that the fish was stupid.

Half a month ago, Lao Zhang upstairs asked me to come up to eat fish for dinner. He said that a local fishing friend wanted to send him some fish.

Before dinner, I went to see Lao Zhang cooking fish and learned about the origin of the fish: his fishing friend’s surname was Ruan, a young man who fished every Monday and must fish every week.

Lao Zhang met Xiao Ruan by chance, and Xiao Ruan said to take some fish to eat.

As a result, five carp each weighing about two kilograms were brought over.

Lao Zhang is a good cook and made two large dishes of delicious fish dishes.

Xiao Ruan's fish catch that day was fifty or sixty kilograms; chatting with the landlord, he learned that his eldest son-in-law also loved fishing. Once he caught too many fish, he drove a tricycle to bring them back.

Visit in a hurry.

The eldest son-in-law said that he caught a lot of fish in one place in one day. He asked four people to help move the fish to the road. When he came back, he weighed the fish and it was 198 kilograms.

Maitreya people are good at fishing, and more importantly, they are friendly and not conservative.

One day I was fishing by the lake for a long time without catching any fish. A middle-aged man came over to chat with me and told me how to choose the fishing position, what kind of line group to use, what kind of bait to use when fishing here... (I later put these advices into practice, happy

After many conversations), I learned that the man’s surname was Zhao, an orthopedic surgeon. He claimed to also love fishing, but his skills were mediocre. In order to satisfy his small preference for fishing target fish, he and a group of aquarists *** jointly invested in the purchase of thousands of black carp, carp, and grass fry.

In the lake, in two years, the big snakehead fish has reached the kilogram level.

Dr. Zhao told me that they basically put the fish they caught back into the lake.

The lake is a free fishing area.

Xiao Ruan is about to fish in Longmugou Reservoir.

From the fishing position to the line set to the bait, I will introduce it in detail. The result is that I caught the biggest fish in my life.

On the way back, Xiao Ruan also treated us to the special delicacies of Zhuyuan Town.

During fishing activities, I met people who offered me bait, gave me fish hooks, patiently taught me how to adjust floats, lent me fishing gear, and provided fishing information.

I was moved for a long time and felt the need to list the names of these friends that I can still remember in words, so that I can enjoy this true, kind and beautiful friendship on a spiritual level for a long time.

They are: Bingtang girl's husband Xiao Ruan, the water delivery master Lao Wan, Dr. Zhao, the landlord's eldest son-in-law, the old fisherman Wandering and those who did not leave their names.
