The life of a longtime fisherman on Dak Tang Lake
Hi Hivers in PhotoFeed community, today I would like to write about a fisherman who has been fishing for a long time on the upper Kon Tum hydroelectric lake which is also known as Dak Tang lake. Dak Tang Lake is a large lake with a length of 15km and is surrounded by mountains and surrounding primeval forests. The deepest point of the lake is about 200m. This lake has a calculated capacity of about 150 million cubic meters. Under favorable conditions, there are many different fish in this large lake. That's why there are some people fishing here. Today I was fortunate to follow a fisherman and learn more about his life story.

And the fisherman that I want to talk about today is a friend that I met recently. His name is Thai. Thai is not someone who was born and raised in this land. He has been coming here since 2010. Initially he was a mechanic of the hydropower project of Dak Tang lake. After the construction was completed in 2018, because of his love for this land, he and his wife decided to stay in this land. His wife is an elementary school teacher. And he stayed to work as a fisherman which is his family traditional job. Was born and grew up in Quang Tri province, he went fishing with his father when he was a child.

I am a friend of his neighbor. Last week I visited my friend at Viring that is a small village on the hill next to Dak Tang lake. I met and heard about Thai's story so I asked him to go fishing on Dak Tang lake with him. And luckily he agreed. And you know what, we started our fishing trip at 3am. Every day, around 3 pm Thai will go to the lake to hook bait on about 300 hooks tied to the trees around the lake and drop the bait into the big nets in the middle of the lake. And from 3 am to 6 am, Thai will go to check the fish hooks and nets.

In the early morning, it was so cold and dark. Thai sailed a small boat to check out fish hooks and nets. I was just sitting on that small boat and I had no idea which direction to go. Although it was very dark, Thai still knew which way to go. He asked me not to turn on the light to avoid making the fish run away. It seems that driving the boat is his habit. I must say that Thai has a hard life. But he has a warm heart. He is a gentle and friendly person. He works hard to earn money for his family. I learned a lot from his life.
I had a great fishing trip with Thai, and I learned a lot from him. I hope you like my post too. Thank you very much for taking time to read my post. I wish you a nice day.

I've seen in movies what strange boat motors fishermen use in your country.
A wonderful report
Thank you very much @apnigrich
Even though I live in Vietnam, I was susprized of that boat too.
I'm actually very surprised by your photos! You have discovered the beauty of Vietnam for me.
Thank you very much for your lovely words @apnigrich

You mean you slept in his place just to go fishing with him at 3 am? You are doing your work with passion and love. But your passion allows you to experience a lot about life.
It looks scary to imagine though being in the middle of the dark lake. I can imagine those horror Thai movies with ghosts or scary creatures coming out of the lake 😂

I slept in the house of my friend who is Thai's neighbor. You're right, my passion is to explore new things. I think our life is a journey of discovery.
That's a great trip I had with him.

That was fun and a great experience, the more we socialized with people like this, the more humble we become, and the more we appreciate life. It pains me to see this reality. I have high respect for hard-working people. May he will have enough catch each day to provide for the table. Thanks for sharing this dear friend.
Yes he works very hard every day. But he told me that on rainy and stormy days, he has no choice but staying at home. That makes him sad then. I learned a lot from him.
These photos are of a rare beauty. I can see how well your friend lives immersed in this nature, he seems exactly to have understood its cycle and to be part of it. !LOLZ

You're right. I can feel he is surely a part of the lake. He understands everything of the lake.
In fact, from the photos I had this feeling, thanks for the confirmation. !LUV

Glad to see you have alot of good experience. A few years ago I did the same thing with my friends and I didn't know how to fish at all, but one of my friends who was very good at it, introduced me to it. Now I also fish comfortably and it's a lot of fun when I go to places like this with friends. All these places looks so beautiful and amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much for your visit @djbravo
I love to go and explore new things like this. I hope you'll have more good experience in the future.
Wooow great adventure. I love these kind of cinematic photos and the angles you used, plus the experience obviously. Great post 😍

I love your photos @dodovietnam, I am a painter who love to practice the plein air painting activity and your landscapes looking amazing. If I could go I would be without thinking for several days painting that beautiful river.
Me encantan tus fotos @dodovietnam, soy un pintor al que le encanta practicar la actividad de pintura al aire libre y que tus paisajes se vean increíbles, Si pudiera ir estaría sin pensarlo varios días pintando ese río tan hermosos
Just beautiful. I like the fact that you took note of very little details. The water detail was very specific ✨ I liked it
