Stilt Fishermen Sri Lanka - Stilt fishing is a unique method of fishing in Sri Lanka, known as “the Pearl of the Indian Ocean.” Fishermen sit on a crossbar called a ‘petta’ tied to a vertical pole embedded in the sand a few meters offshore. From this elevated position, they cast their lines and wait for fish to bite. Although the method appears primitive and ancient, it is still practiced today.
