Li Younan was instantly delighted, but he did not rush to pull the fish with brute force. Instead, he skillfully controlled the fish's movements, patiently maneuvering with the struggling fish in the water for a good ten minutes before gradually guiding its trajectory bit by bit toward the shore.
When he reached a position perpendicular to the steep bank, Li Younan suddenly exerted his strength and lifted upward, causing a large half-meter-long fish to break out of the water.
Upon closer inspection, Li Younan was overjoyed; it turned out to be a very large rainbow trout.
This type of fish is widely distributed in Chilco Lake, and its taste and texture are very similar to salmon. In fact, some unscrupulous merchants use this fish as a substitute for salmon, making it nearly impossible for the average person to tell the difference.
Rainbow trout in China are an invasive species, whereas here is the true home of the rainbow trout.
