In Pakistan\“s coastal regions, fishing after rainfall in saltwater areas is a time-honored tradition practiced by local fishermen. The rainfall is believed to stir up nutrients and attract more fish closer to the shore, making it an ideal time for fishing.

Local fishermen in areas like Karachi, Gwadar, and Ormara have developed unique techniques for post-rain saltwater fishing. They use traditional wooden boats called \“houris\“ and specific nets designed for catching fish that become more active after rainfall.

The practice is deeply rooted in Pakistani coastal culture, with many fishermen following traditional weather prediction methods passed down through generations. They observe cloud patterns, wind directions, and sea conditions to determine the best fishing times after rains.

This traditional knowledge combines with modern fishing equipment in many coastal communities, creating a blend of old and new techniques that sustain both livelihoods and cultural heritage.
