The big dipper.


Dip net fishing - Cambodia.


These huge dip nets, mounted on rafts, were being used to catch schools of small fish in areas flooded by the Mekong during the wet season. They were all made of bamboo and neatly balanced so the net, on a counter balanced arm, could be easily dipped in and out of the water by one person.
