The Art Of Fishing On Stilts Of Sri Lankan Fishermen

Instead of fishing on a boat, on flat terrain, the people of Sri Lanka have a very unique fishing method with only a fishing rod and a vertical pillar erected on the sea.
The art of fishing on stilts of Sri Lankan fishermen
Dubbed as a unique fishing method in the island nation of Sri Lanka, fishing on the pole is the form of residents sitting on a vertical pillar and attached to a crossbar shaped like a cross, then Close firmly into the sea.
From this high position, the fishermen will use the fishing rod to catch fish. Although this way of fishing seems very primitive and ancient, for the fishermen in Sri Lanka this method of fishing is still very effective today.
This unique way of fishing has its origins in World War II, when there was a lack of food and fishing spots became increasingly crowded

. In order to minimize the area of fishing on the sea surface, the villagers have thought of erecting wooden stakes in coral reefs to fish.
With this type of tree, more people have a chance to catch fish in the same location.
This fishing method has then been passed on to at least two generations of fishermen living along the 30-kilometer southern coast between the towns of Unawatuna and Weligama in Sri Lanka
In 2004, a tsunami devastated much of the Indian Ocean coast and left residents unable to fish on stilts but instead reverting to boat fishing.




Coming to this beach, visitors can still see the image of Sri Lankan people when "remembering the job" still sitting on wooden stakes in the middle of the sea.
