Living near streams and creeks has helped them "create" unique forms of fishing, including building stone ramparts in streams and creeks to lure fish, a unique and simple form of fishing that is highly effective.

Mr. Luong Van Ly in Binh Chuan commune shared: “To catch fish in the stream, we had to go out to explore to know where there were many fish. Then, taking advantage of the dry season, we dug up the sand and used rocks in the stream to arrange them into piles, large rocks placed in the middle to serve as shelter for the fish. After a few days, we returned and used nets to spread around the pile of rocks, then took out all the rocks one by one to catch the schools of fish hiding in them.” Photo: Ba Hau |
