Catching Fish at a Stream

Since I stayed at hospital whole a day yesterday, I came back home in the morning. After a while when I got home, my brother, who has spring vacation right now, asked me if I would go catching some fish with him. Since I was kind a bored, I said yes so quickly. When he says let's go catching fish, it doesn't mean "fishing" you imagine;his "fishing" is just getting into a stream and catch some fish with a net like when you catch some insects.

The stream is near from our house. It's like a mountain torrent stream and some livings are there. I used to catch small crabs when I was a kid. My brother and I still go there sometimes to catch fish as a food. Of course not ours, but our pets'. Our tortoise loves gourmet foods; sashimi (too good for her!) and living fish. My brother keeps a flesh-eating fish in his aquarium as well, and puts killifish as its food. Since his fish eats a lot of killifish recently; it's absolutely not kind to his wallet, so he decided to catch some fish today.

It was after a long while for me to go there, so I was shocked when I saw the stream shape changed. It used to be much deeper, but what I saw was a very shallow water. My brother told me they've fixed the stream after it broke when a typhoon came last summer, and actually the stream looked unnaturally straighter than before. It was good that they didn't make a concrete wall in the river, but I wondered if we could catch fish there because we didn't see any signs of fish.

Finally, we couldn't get so many fish. I don't know if they've disappeared or just hiding, but hope that they'll come back when it gets warmer. Although we didn't get to catch fish so much, I was happy going there, since I found some "spring" around there; sakura is coming~, lol.
