Now is the season of catching bong lau, a kind of catfish species
that lives in the wild in the Cuu Long (Mekong) Delta. Visitors can join tours
watch fishermen catch bong lau on the Vam Nao River in An Giang Province.
The tour, organised by the An Giang Farmers Tourism Centre, also offers other
services, including staying at stilt houses, dishes cooked from bong lau and Don
ca tai tu music and song, which is a UNESCO recognised intangible cultural
heritage of humanity.
The activity of watching fishermen fishing is held on the Vam Nao River section
in Tan Phu District. Linked with the Tien and Hau rivers (two tributes of the
Mekong), the section is where fishermen cast nets. The caught fish are about 3 –
7 kilos.
Bong lau, famous for its delicious flesh, is caught from lunar November to
April. The fish price is between VND150,000 and VND250,000 (US$7-11) a kilo.
