Baiting flys

Fish. When i was the farm supervisor at the prison, we had plans to fill in this small pond to make room for more cattle pens. This pond was filled with channel cat and crappie. A couple convicts asked me if they could try to pull some fish out of the pond before it got drained and filled in. I told em have at it, not knowing how they'd do it, but that wasn't my problem.

 

Day or 3 later, these convicts show up with a mail sack filled with green hickory nuts with the husk smashed that they picked up while working on a road crew. They pitched it in the pond with a rock in the sack and sat down to wait. Wasn't long they were cleaning fish on the pond dam. Wasnt a fish left in that pond when they drained it.

I went and looked it up. Lots of information about it online. In a survival situation, it could be the very thing that saves one's life.
