Knitted sheets of their desired length and width are fixed in river of sharp current with the help of strong and large wooden nails (Kila). This fish trap was very efficient and logical tool for the ancient indigenous peoples- making them to become successful in fishing.This fish trap looks like Greek symbol pi(Π).
