Fishing

I, Will, had the opportunity to go fishing a couple weeks ago. Shawn, our team leader, and I went with some young men who live nearby. We walked behind our property to a river. At this point in rainy season the river looks huge, however, during the dry season it will completely dry up.

We tried our hand at fishing the local way, which involves simply a small stick, some fishing line, a hook and a small bobber. After baiting the hook with a worm dug up from the banks of the river you simply threw the line in the water. To real it in you just pulled on the line, no “reel” needed.

While Shawn and I had no luck what-so-ever in catching some of the younger kids did. Five fish in all that they were able to take home and eat for dinner. In the future we hope to go to the larger river nearby and try to catch bigger fish.
