The ancient fishing secrets are still here today

Fishing has been a part of our survival for as long as recorded history and probably much longer. Ancient cave paintings of 10,000 years is fishing, with fish bones and remains of animal bones hooks. Even stone anchors old currently on display in museums.

Across the globe, which is always the culture, each has its own history in fishing and techniques most of which are still used today. In fact, almost all ancient cultures have used boats, hooks, nets and spears of some kind.

The ancient Romans used the rods and lines, nets and spears. The ancient Greeks used bars and cages and baskets woven fabric that remain under water where the fish caught are kept alive until needed.

Some cultures have been more creative than others and are very interesting techniques such as night fishing in Japan. It is called cormorant fishing. It takes 7 to 8 birds cormorants have to train drivers. Once trained, come out at night in a long narrow boat with a long rod before it with a hanging basket that is on fire, the birds are each on a leash and are trained to dive and fish, who are experts in this technique still is practiced today and if for any reason is going to Japan, you may want to look into this phenomenon.

In the basin of Colombia, former salmon fishermen have passed a tribal fishing technique still practiced today. Tribal families for many generations have built a wooden scaffold that is very strong and stable which spans the river. " This allows them to drop the nets salmon catch many at once. In the smaller rivers of the basin, dip nets are used because they can be better controlled. These networks have historically been made with a hemp rope, tendons and tone of the trees. These networks have a pole long attached to them and you find yourself in the water and fish rose.

In medieval Europe, the V-shaped structures were built to herd fish into waiting nets.

Some cultures have used poisonous plants to stun fish so it is easy to trap. This is a dangerous practice and has been declared illegal Fishing in this way due to obvious security issues. You do not want to risk eating a fish that has been poisoned.

Fishing today is not just for survival, but it is a huge sport worldwide. But when you look really, not much has changed in the way we fish. The main difference is actually in progress in hooks and nets.

As each time the fish, you can get as large as the one that got away.
