Making traps to catch fish is a traditional fishing method, usually done on frozen rivers or lakes in winter. Based on the pictures you provided, here is a simplified step-by-step description:
• Choose a location: First, you need to choose a location where fish are active. This can usually be determined by observing bubbles or cracks in the ice.
• Cut ice holes: Use an ice drill to cut one or more holes in the ice. The size of the hole should be large enough for the fish to pass through, but also large enough for easy operation.
• Prepare the net: Prepare a fishing net, which can be a traditional fish net or a homemade net. One end of the net should be fixed to the edge of the ice hole.
• Set the trap: Put part of the net into the water so that it can catch fish swimming by. You can put some bait in the water to attract fish.
• Wait: Let the trap sit in the water for a while to give the fish a chance to swim into the net.
• Collect the net: After a period of time, slowly pull up the net and pull the captured fish out of the water.
• Handle the fish: Take the captured fish out of the net and place it on a cloth or mat on the ice to prevent the fish from directly touching the ice and freezing.
• Cleaning and maintenance: After fishing, clean the area around the ice hole to ensure there is no trash or fish debris. Also, check the nets for damage so that they can be used next time.
Please note that fishing activities should comply with local laws and regulations to ensure that fishing activities are legal and sustainable. In addition, fishing should respect the ecological environment and avoid overfishing.
