An unfinished fishing weir with bamboo woven fish trap at bottom, right, near Kaputa village

The stream bed is very low or even dry during the dry season. The weir will be completed by weaving sticks and bamboo to make a barrier when the water level rises. A gap in the barrier will have the fish trap attached and fish will only be able to pass through the weir by entering the trap.
