On that day, the temperature at Dali Lake was as low as -20°C, but the atmosphere on the lake was noisy and warm. Tourists from all over the world and local people dressed in ethnic costumes went to the event to immerse themselves in the fishing and hunting festival.
The scene was full of joy and fish, and there was a bumper harvest scene everywhere. Sacrifice the lake, wake up the net, break the ice, and lower the net...... After a series of traditional ceremonies, the head of the fish leads the fishermen to sing the trumpet in unison and pull the nets in their hands. The fish were alive and fluttering, glowing with silver, and came to the surface.
"Fishing should pay attention to catching the big and letting go of the small, only catch one net of fish a day, and never overfish. Feng Junjie, general manager of Dali Lake Fishery Co., Ltd., said that the annual catch of the fishery was 100 million catties in the past, and in recent years, the local area has increased ecological protection and scientific fishing. "This year's fishing task is only 38,<> catties, although the amount is less, but the quality of the fish is much better than before. ”
