Stilt fishing is an ancient tradition of Galle in Sri Lanka. It is one of their most popular methods of fishing which dates back to many years from now. This process involves inserting stilts (long stick like things) deep into the coral reef and finding large fishes to sell/eat.
Fishermen who are into Stilt fishing carry out this activity in the early hours of the day, and during sunset.
It is a physically challenging task where the possibility is that one might not be able to catch any substantial amount of fish. Many stilt fishermen now offer their stilts by the shore for photography to tourists who want some pictures that show them doing the activity.
