traditional fishing methods
Old-school catching techniques
Traditional fishing methods are techniques for catching fish that predate modern commercial equipment—practices passed down through generations rather than industrially developed.
These include hand lines, spears, traps, weirs, and cast nets.
The community still relies on traditional fishing methods passed down from their ancestors.
The phrase often carries connotations of sustainability and cultural preservation, contrasted with industrial trawling or factory ships.
