content: Edited film: lines are twisted from the bast strips of a reedlike plant and are equipped with small fish hooks. Small bait fish are caught just under the surface of the water and are attached to the long fishing line, which is spread out into the water. After some time the line is brought in again, and the catch is put into the boat.
