The fishing method was the lure method, that is, the trap was placed in the river with the mouth facing upstream; the dam method (building a dam with a bamboo or rattan frame with a wall of wooden grass and stones) whereby fish could be retrieved from below the dam when the water level dropped as a result of damming; and the fish curtain fish driving method. Small traps were used in rivers, placed in the narrow channels between rocks. (small trap lure method, fish trap method). The traps also had a lid to prevent the fish escaping after capture
