Pakistan has a rich tradition of fishing methods that have been passed down through generations. The country\“s diverse water bodies, including the Arabian Sea, rivers, and lakes, support various fishing techniques.

In coastal areas, traditional boats called “hora“ are used for fishing. Fishermen employ net fishing, line fishing, and trap fishing methods. The “bhol“ fishing method involves using large nets to catch fish in shallow waters.

Inland fishing communities use unique methods like “mahseer“ fishing in northern rivers, where anglers use special techniques to catch this prized fish species. The “kass“ or fishing spear is another traditional tool used in many rural areas.

These traditional methods reflect Pakistan\“s cultural heritage and the sustainable practices developed over centuries by local fishing communities.
