Fishing in Hefei


We spent a magnificent day fishing with Leo's grandfather. We drove to a special place that is similiar to a fish farm. You pay a price and they supply you with rods and bait. There is also a restaurant on site where they will cook the fish you catch. We had lunch and the menu consisted of Duck Soup (including the head), chicken, fish, prawns and vegetables - a feast! After lunch we continued fishing and I caught two fish using traditional pole fishing which involves a technique of watching small floats on top of the water until they start to disappear slightly. You must then quickly flick the rod over your head which in my case meant the poor fish ended up in the bushes behind me!
