According to locals, there is a substance in the wine lees that makes fish and tadpoles "drunk", so they pour it in to lure the fish in. Photo: Dao Tho |

After preparation, the wine lees are brought to streams where the water is stagnant and there are many fallen leaves, which are identified as places with many tadpoles, to set traps. Photo: Dao Tho |

After placing the pole, each person holds a pole to beat the water around to chase fish and tadpoles to where the wine lees are. Photo: Dao Tho |

Because the traps take a long time to set, some people take the opportunity to turn over rocks to find tadpoles hiding in them. Photo: Dao Tho |

At this time, the stream tadpoles have developed legs. This type is considered a "specialty" of the highland people. Photo: Dao Tho |
