(HBO) – Fishing in the Da River has become a favorite hobby of many locals and tourists to the northwestern mountainous province of Hoa Binh. Fishermen can feel lost in thought and relaxed while fishing, and excited when they can get big and choosy fish.


Fishing in the Da River is the hobby of many local people

There are many fishing places along the Da River, from its lower section to the areas around Dung Spring, the former Da River cement factory and Thia Yen Mong ferry station, and the section running through Hoa Binh city. Besides, streams running to the river, along with romantic cliffs, also create a breathtaking landscape.

Hoa Binh is blessed with the Da River which is dubbed as a rich store of aquatic resources in the northwestern region. The fish in the clean river are delicious with various recipes. They can be cooked right on the river banks and on boats, attracting an increasing number of fishermen - young or old, junior or senior in the hobby - to the Da River to try their luck. A day without going out fishing will be enough to make them feel uneasy.

In the past, fishermen used bamboo rods and rice and sweet potato as bait, but now things have changed with the use of carbon rods, reels, and mixed bait bought from the market. It may take them all day to catch a small fish like muong (hemiculter), chay (spinibarbus caldwelli) and tilapia, but this is enough to make them feel quite happy. Meanwhile, in a lucky day, they may bring home tens of kilos of carp or silver carp./.
