Before i get onto the important stuff Nik has asked me to do a short piece on Chinese New Year which began yesterday and i forgot to say we saw a lion (not dragon as i had thought) dance last night to celebrate it..and very nice it was too.
Chinese new year starts with the new moon on the first day of the new year and ends in the full moon 15 days later when there is a lantern display.
This is the year of the dragon...to me it always seems to be either the year of the dragon, rat or pig or are there others? I think they should go through the alphabet to add variety eg. A....the year of the anteater. B...the year of the badger C..the year of the centipede etc etc
Now this afternoon i set off alone in a taxi to go to Top Cats Fishery which is a fresh water lake in the SW of the island with some fish in it...and you know i would fish in a puddle given the chance!
I dont want to bore you with too many details but i caught 2 mekong catfish of 35 and 60lb and a rather beautiful siamese carp of 40lb. The big cat took 15mins to land. I also hooked and lost 3 giant aripaimah which were well over 80lb so i had a rather jolly good time......
