People who have lived in or visited the Mekong Delta during the flood season may be familiar with the sight of lift-net fishing. In this video, filmed outside Vietnam, a single pull of the net brings an entire shimmering school of fish to the surface.
The net, made of mesh stretched over a sturdy bamboo frame, is lowered beneath the water and left to wait for the right moment. This fishing method requires no modern machinery, only experience and patience.
As the net is lifted, the fish leap together above the water, creating a striking scene. This is a traditional fishing practice associated with life in river communities. It is relaxing and enjoyable, all while providing a source of fresh food for family meals. Each big catch brings bursts of laughter along canals and rice fields. The video also captures the rustic atmosphere of the countryside, leaving viewers with a sense of calm and quiet charm.
