The next morning, the weather remained clear, and the wind and waves were calm.
Lin Yu'an secured the logging axe at his waist, strapped on the American Hunting Bow and quiver, and paddled the Pioneer canoe through the tranquil lake waters.
Skillfully using two homemade long wooden paddles, he first arrived at the river bend where he'd set up the stinging net the night before.
He carefully observed the state of the floats from the canoe; the water was calm, with no signs of fish hitting the net.
"Looks like today my luck isn't great," he muttered, without stopping, continuing towards the wooden fishing platform he visited yesterday.
After about half an hour of paddling, the canoe smoothly rested against the lakeshore where the fishing platform was located.
Lin Yu'an pulled the boat onto the shore, tied it to a tree using parachute cord, and began exploring the surrounding area.
