4 - Fishing



Killifishes fishing requires an equipment very high-tech: - A pair of waders - A net is more akin to a sieve, 80 cm by 40 ... - A "bag" to put plastic fish!

Now you're ready! The picture sums it up.



But do not take as long as you win! The hard part begins: have the knack for catching! Without the help of Cyril, we would have brought ... a 10aine? After carefully observed his technique, we managed to get in nice quantities!
And stressing a bit, we fished a lot of Pelvicachromis and other fish (Channa, Barbus, Hemichromis, Benitochromis, etc ...)
