Just about 10 minutes after the dam was closed, the water level at the foot of the dam, an area of ​​about 2,000 square meters, had dropped significantly. People immediately rowed boats and floated to the shallow water area, bringing all kinds of tools such as fishing nets, nets, rackets... to "hunt for the gods' blessings".

A long line of people spread nets along the foot of the dam, while many others concentrated on casting nets in deeper water areas. Locals said: The time when the dam stops releasing water is always a good opportunity to catch many types of natural fish such as: silver carp, silver carp, common carp, etc. However, this year because the hydropower plant closed later than usual, the amount of fish was not as abundant as expected.

Mr. Tran Quyet Thang (Ma Da commune, Dong Nai province) shared: "This is the first time the dam is closed this year but there are not many fish. However, every time we cast the net, we have good catches, mainly catfish, silver carp and tra fish."

The fish caught by the people are used as food, to entertain guests, or sold to restaurants and traders who specialize in buying natural river fish. In addition to the economic value, this activity also brings a joyful atmosphere, connecting the community every time the flood season ends.
