Inland Fisheries

Crafts and Gears

The types of nets most commonly used are fixed gill net, fixed net, gill net, drag net, cast net, seine net and scoop net. Local Bahini fishing has been replaced by gill-cum-drag netting system. In the rivers mainly nylon gill nets and cast nets are operated. In deeper areas in the lake having less macro vegetation gill-cum-drag net/gill net and drag net with or without pockets are in use. Mostly country boats are used for fishing and mechanised boats though mainly used for transportation are slowly creeping in fishing activities.
