Sri Lanka is unique for its "stilt fishermen" of its west coast - fishermen who sit on small benches on poles stuck into the water a few meters offshore and fish for small reef fish called ‘Bollu’ and ‘Koramburuwo’
photographers show that they are from Walligama - however, currently they can only be seen north of Walligama along the beaches of Koggala - and the few who still fish make more from tourists for photos than they do from fishing.
The stilt fisherman of the South have become a symbol of Sri Lanka. the fishermen in their unmistakable stilts have come to iconise patient perseverance in Sri Lanka.
