On the morning of the 27th, on the ice of Lianhuan Lake in Duerbot Mongolian Autonomous County, Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province, fishermen struggled to pull the big net out of the ice with loud calls to raise the net. With the first net fish brought ashore this winter, the 2023 Heilongjiang cold-water fish winter fishing season has officially begun.
The fishermen select a location on the lake where fish are concentrated, cast a thousand-meter-long net and start working. “Fat-headed fish, carp, crucian carp… This year’s head-net fish species are relatively rich, and the head-net fish has a good harvest, which is a good sign.” Yu Baotou Jinfeng pointed at the fish just caught and said that this winter fishing is the largest single net fish. The weight is about 300,000 kilograms.
