See Vtkhalha panel painted quill artist, and one of the most creative scenes in fishing, an old tradition in all parts of Sri Lanka, where you see them sitting for hours on stilts uncomfortable in the hope that something hunted.
There may be many ways to catch fish, but this one mind-boggling, as fishermen used stilts to catch fish, which is an old tradition practiced by about 500 fishing families in the south-west of Sri Lanka, Galle, especially around the towns of Kathaluwa and Ahangama.
Although it seems a beautiful sight, but difficult and uncomfortable process, you see them spend hours sitting on a tablet thin hung on the pillars in the hope of catching a fish or two 5 cm long, and then sold about 2 cents per fish, but the waves big fish away, soIt has a smaller fishing, but it is a small price to pay to maintain the traditions spanning centuries.
Fishing stopped after the 2004 tsunami which hit Sri Lanka and other Indian Ocean countries, but it resumed after the return things to normal, beautiful view Show fishermen to try balance the difficulty of the thin slab, but all this effort just to keep their old habits.
Usually they hunt fish during sunrise and sunset, and the afternoon, where a hunter takes all its 14:00 high above the water planted on the seabed column.
Hand holding the pillar and the other holding a reed, fishing, and the fish are kept in a plastic bag tied around the waist, where they used previously woven bags of coconut leaves, but now Vistamiloa plastic bags discarded.
Worshipers by sitting on the substrate, the fish remain around them for a longer period of non-sense of discomfort, but with the net and if I felt one they may not return for a long time, so the fishermen have no objection to sitting for long hours to get their catch, and apparently they do not use bait for hunting.
It is not known since when practicing this habit, but according to government documents began after World War II.
Unfortunately such traditions are threatened with extinction because of commercial exploitation, and because of the construction of hotels near the fishing grounds, and also the presence of tourists that leads to disturb fish and smuggled.
