Fishing

A flock of ducks takes advantage of these riverside fishermen as they haul in a catch along the Jamuna River near Bogura in Bangladesh. Around 30 ducks sit in the algae covered water above the catch feeding on the fish. These fishermen are catching fish to sell at a local market. They can catch around 100 kilograms of small fish a day using this method. It will take more than one hour to reel the net in.
