The art of throwing fishing nets is a skill passed down through generations. It is a mesmerizing sight to behold; the fishermen stand on the edge of their boats, bodies poised in a graceful balance. With a swift, fluid motion, they cast the nets, which unfurl elegantly over the shimmering waters like a delicate lace canopy. The technique requires not just strength but also an intimate knowledge of the river and its inhabitants, honed through years of experience.
