(HBO) – Fishing in the Da River has become a favorite hobby of many locals and tourists to the northwestern mountainous province of Hoa Binh. Fishermen can feel lost in thought and relaxed while fishing, and excited when they can get big and choosy fish.
Fishing
in the Da River is the hobby of many local people
There
are many fishing places along the Da River, from its lower section to the areas
around Dung Spring, the former Da River cement factory and Thia Yen Mong ferry
station, and the section running through Hoa Binh city. Besides, streams running
to the river, along with romantic cliffs, also create a breathtaking landscape.
Hoa
Binh is blessed with the Da River which is dubbed as a rich store of aquatic resources
in the northwestern region. The fish in the clean river are delicious with
various recipes. They can be cooked right on the river banks and on boats,
attracting an increasing number of fishermen - young or old, junior or senior
in the hobby - to the Da River to try their luck. A day without going out fishing
will be enough to make them feel uneasy.
In
the past, fishermen used bamboo rods and rice and sweet potato as bait, but now
things have changed with the use of carbon rods, reels, and mixed bait bought
from the market. It may take them all day to catch a small fish like muong
(hemiculter), chay (spinibarbus caldwelli) and tilapia, but this is enough to
make them feel quite happy. Meanwhile, in a lucky day, they may bring home tens
of kilos of carp or silver carp./.
