This weekend, I'm going fishing with my son, again.
This is a small pond, down in the south west of France, about half an hour's walk from the house. Up the lane, past the farm, down the path, over two streams, across the field.
I was there with him last weekend, and we checked to see if there were any fish. The water is murky, so we couldn't see what is in there. We caught some small grasshoppers, and threw them, one at a time onto the water. Each one was grabbed by a fish after about 15 to 30 seconds of hitting the water.
We didn't get a view of the fish, it was too quick.
Anybody here able to hazard a guess as to what it might be? This pond seems to be fed from a spring, normally it's isolated from any watercourse.
We'll be using grasshoppers tied onto Mustad nº6 "limerick" shape hooks, on 18/100 line.
Keith.
