People often like to eat certain foods during the rainy season, such as fried foods, soups, and snacks. In my place many people thrive to eat non veg mutton, chicken and fish. As the rain comes to an end and on a clear day, the pond next to my home saw buzzing quite early in the day. The pond is actually a fishing pond and today, they were trapping the fish in the nets. A welcome fishing activity to watch early in the day.
The first thing we should know is that patience is important for the success of fishing, as it improves all the odds. There were many fishing technique people are fond of. Rods and Nets were very popular of them. The pond is actually a make shift fisheries owned by a retired army veteran. So he called upon some of the local fisherman to catch the fish.
Rain can create a condition that are good for fishing. Rain aerate and cool the surface water of lakes or ponds, which can activate fish. Fishing requires to be in the right place at the right time. In this pond, all fish moved towards the far end, making the fisherman to cross the water to catch them.
As far as the pond is concerned, it is situated in middle of the greenary. Surrounded by big trees at one end, while it has many vegetation around the lakes. Thanks to continous rainfall for last couple of days, the entire was damp.
The fisherman, bought along a tube to float in water, and cast nets to catchbthe fishes. Cast nets are very popular nets for fishing in my area, which require a lot of manual efforts. Cast nets are lightweight nets that are designed for use in shallow water without obstructions. The fisherman throws the net out onto the water, where it spreads out and settles quickly due to weighted edges. As the net approaches the bottom, the fisherman pulls it closed and reels it back in with any fish caught.
The pond is not so deep, one of the fisherman, took the nets and with the help of tube started moving towards the fish direction, which was on the far end corner of the pond.
Throwing the net into the water is also an art. The fisherman on reaching the spot prepare to throw the net. The net is cast or thrown into the water by hand in such a manner that it spreads out while it's in the air before it sinks into the water. The hand movement is like from back to front and executing the nets to spread all over the place.
I made the best efforts to capture, but unable to shot the movement. Once the nets reach to the bottom, the fisherman, start assembling them with hand. The fishes already gets trapped into the nets. Once he pulled them on one the sides, we saw many fishes get caught in the nets.
These are all fresh water fishes, Rohu & Katla being the most of them. People here fond of them, it does not get long to finish. The fisherman get inside the multiple time and every time returns with 5-6 kgs of fish. These were sold hand in hand with the local residents. At the end it was the happy morning hunting for many people.
It was such a lovely time watching the catch for #wednesdaywalk. Freshwater fish, offer a range of health benefits. From healthy hear to fair skin to weight loss. Fish are also a great source of lean protein, vitamins B6 and B12, thiamin, niacin, calcium, and "heme" iron, which is easily absorbed by the body. This is why it is so popular item in my region.
Peace!!

That's pretty cool. I just went fishing myself not too long ago. I tend to just stick with a rod and reel though.
Hope you had some lovely catch....rods are not so popular here...there are many markets so they prefer the casting nets
We did catch a few, but not as many as we had hoped. It's all sport fishing so we threw them back.
