(Baonghean) - In the early days of winter, fog covers Tung Huong village (Tam Quang - Tuong Duong). When the electric lights start flickering in the houses, the women call each other to go catch fish. Under the Nam Xan stream, the women walk in a row in the middle of the stream.
Each time they scoop, they stretch their arms far away, hold the net firmly and lean it down on the stream, kick lightly with their feet, then approach the net. Ms. Vi Thi Nhung shared that she was born and raised in the village so she is very good at this job. In the past, each time they scooped, they could catch a lot, just needing to go for 1 to 2 hours to get a full catch of fish, about 2 to 3 kg of fish. There were many days when they could catch big fish of 0.5 to 1 kg. They do this job all year round, the colder the weather, the more fish they can catch...
