Shire River and Buying Fish






The Shire river runs through Malawi and provides water for agriculture. Many people make their living by farming in Malawi. People also fish the waters. The fishers use dug out canoes made from hand carved trees, lines with steel hooks, and bowls to bail the water that enters the canoes through leaks.


Here are some pictures from the Shire river, a dug out canoe, a fisherman paddling his canoe, fish for purchase, and driving around with fish in the hot African sun.
