Intha fisherman are famous in Myanmar for their special leg rowing on Inle Lake. This man here is using a fish trap, and happily balancing on one leg at the tip of his boat.

Local fishermen are known for practicing a distinctive rowing style which involves standing at the stern on one leg and wrapping the other leg around the oar. This unique style evolved for the reason that the lake is covered by reeds and floating plants making it difficult to see above them while sitting. Standing provides the rower with a view beyond the reeds. However, the leg rowing style is only practiced by the men.
