One of the most iconic scenes your bound to see in Sri Lanka is stilt fishing. An old tradition around Sri Lanka, you can spot them sitting on their uncomfortable stilts, hoping to catch something.     Though they may be beautiful to look at, stilt fishermen have it rough. They spend hours sitting on a thin plank, hoping to catch one or two fish about 5 cm-long, that they sell for about 2 cents each. The rough waves keep the big fish away, so they sometimes have to settle for te smallest catch. But it's a small price to pay in order to preserve centuries-old traditions.
