More in hope than anticipation, I had slung out a large and particularly smelly lump of cheese on a heavy line with a lead weight into a near bank glide and
left the rod to
fish for itself, while I concentrated on trying to catch something on my more subtle
float fishing tackle.
The toxin temporarily paralyzes
fish, making them
float to the top of the water, and locals pick out the largest ones
leaving the younger ones to grow older.
