Traditional fishing yields payload of fish

In the northern provinces of Iran, cast net fishing is still practiced with a considerable payload of fish.  

While cast nets are no more used for fishing in many parts of the world, some fishermen in the northern provinces of Gilan and Mazandaran still catch big fish by using this traditional fishing method.

A cast net is a fishing net that is designed to be thrown out into the water and then hauled back in with a payload of fish.

People have been using cast nets for thousands of years and here are some photos of Iranian fishermen using this traditional method.
