Leg Rowers of Inle

Leg Rowers of Inle

The Intha fishermen are famous for their very individual rowing technique of standing up holding a long paddle in one hand and their leg wrapped around the paddle lower down. This leaves them free to use the other hand for manipulating their conical net for fishing in the shallow waters of the lake. The Intha, also known as Ang-has or Dawe, live around Lake Inle (also known as Yawng Hwe Lake) in southern Shan State.)
