I have been friends with fish for many years.

This is the third season I have communicated with some wild fish, in a pond on a isalnd just south of Montreal. It's the casino Island or Parc Jean Drapeau. Whats is amazing is that this has also taken place in three other bodies of water that I would visit frequently feeding and touching the fish. I have found over time that the food they like the best is Pork Sausage. I am giving them MacGerries sausage mostly although thats a bit too expensive so I have switched to a Pork and Beef blend that they practically fight over. I make them feed directly from my hand. More or less they have to snip it off as I only present a small piece at a time. Occasionally they manage to get the whole sausage and make off with it. it's tricky feeding all the fish now because I have about 8 regular customers feeding at this time. A few of the very big ones also allow me to touch and actually fondle them. These must have been the ones that have grown so nicely over the past summer and return each summer to my magic spot.

I also bang some rocks together in a hockey games type beat , so they relate this sound to my presence. In Lac Dore or Gold Lake, I trained the fish there to the banging of rocks during our contact time. When I arrive at the Lake I merely bag the rocks and within ten minutes they will come. Year after year.
