Under-Ice Net Fishing: A Traditional Practice in Siberia, Russia This photograph showcases the age-old Russian tradition of under-ice net fishing, a practice particularly prevalent in the frigid regions of Siberia. The scene unfolds on the frozen waters of the Ratta, a tributary that flows into the Taz River in the North Tumen region. A group of men, bundled up against the harsh winter elements, work together to pull their boat, laden with fishing nets, across the ice. The boat, which serves as both a safety measure and a means of transporting their catch, is being pulled by ropes attached to the sledge. The men's faces are etched with determination and focus as they navigate the icy terrain, their breaths visible in the crisp air. Their quarry of choice is the local salmon, a prized catch in these parts. The nets, suspended beneath the ice, are designed to catch these fish as they swim upstream to spawn. The men's deft handling of the nets and their boat reveals a deep connection to their environment and a rich fishing heritage. This photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of the indigenous peoples of Siberia, who have relied on fishing as a primary source of sustenance for generations. The scene is reminiscent of a bygone era, where the rhythms of nature dictated the daily lives of the people. The use of traditional methods, passed down through the generations, continues to be an essential part of their cultural identity. The frozen landscape, dotted with snow-covered trees and the icy river, adds to the serene beauty of the moment. The historical significance of under-ice net fishing in Russia and Siberia is evident in this photograph, which captures the essence of a time-honored tradition that continues to thrive in the face of modernity.
