Besides that, the fishing, either in the lake or the Mercy, was very profitable, for Pencroft had made some lines, armed with iron hooks, with which they frequently caught fine trout, and a species of fish whose silvery sides were speckled with yellow, and which were also extremely savory.
Además. la pesca, en las aguas del lago, en el río de la Merced, no tardó en ser fructífera, porque Pencroff había instalado sedales de fondo armados de anzuelos de hierro, en los cuales se prendían con frecuencia hermosas truchas y ciertos peces muy sabrosos, cuyos vientres argentados estaban sembrados de manchitas amarillas.
