Hand fishing, known locally as \“Macho Manjha\“ in some regions of Pakistan, is an ancient fishing technique practiced in rivers and canals across the country. This traditional method involves using bare hands to catch fish from muddy waters, requiring exceptional skill and patience.
In rural Punjab and Sindh provinces, hand fishing is not just a means of livelihood but also a cultural activity passed down through generations. Fishermen develop a unique ability to detect fish movements through touch and quickly grab them from underwater hideouts.
The practice is particularly common during monsoon season when water levels rise in irrigation channels. Local communities often organize informal hand fishing competitions, celebrating this traditional skill that connects them to their agricultural heritage and natural environment. |
