After breakfast, we start to see the Ayeyarwaddy Dolphins with local fishermen with their small canoe because the dolphins are afraid of engine sound therefore we must take small canoe and follow to the fishermen where they are collaborating with Dolphin for fishing in the river. It is amazing to see how they are fishing with dolphin. Firstly, fishermen knew where the dolphins are live around their village or somewhere else and when they see dolphins they start to tapping with bamboo to canoe or make sound like diffidence one guttural, then apparently the dolphins show the signal, it’s mean you can collaborate with them for fishing so they swim to us on the other side of river closely and show their tail like vertical to stop the boat and catch the fish with net when they show their tail again like BUM you’re ready to throw quickly the net to catch fish after a few minute you can see the fishes are in net. This kind of method for fishing here in Myanmar were many years ago, the fishermen were taking hand to hand and an old fisherman said to us since they were young, they learnt from their grandfather.
