Stilt Fishing

A fishing tradition found only in Sri Lanka

Stilt fishing is a traditional method used by Sri Lankan fishermen, where they sit on a crossbar called a "petta" attached to a vertical pole embedded in the sea. This unique and picturesque practice, developed as a resourceful way to catch fish near the shoreline, is mostly seen along the southern coast of Sri Lanka. Today, it has become a popular attraction, showcasing the country's cultural heritage.
