Intha leg rowing fishermen starts to fish in the early morning hours on Inle Lake December 17, 2011 in Inle Lake, Myanmar. The famous lake is 22 kilometers long and 11 wide and has been a fishermans paradise for years where they use their leg rowing technique, standing on the stern on one leg and wrapping the other leg around the oar. They catch a type of Carp called Nga-hpein selling it for about USD 1.00. This allows the fishermen to better see many obstacles on the large lake offering relief to their arms.
