This art is popularly seen in areas such as Ahangama, Koggala, Welipenna, Kathaluwa and Thalarambe. A narrow pole is tied to a stick that is anchored on the sea bed. Fisher folk climb onto this stick and settle on the pole for a few hours in an effort to catch some fish. Fishermen found on stilts are those who do not have access to sophisticated equipment for fishing. These men can make a living simply with the help of two wooden poles to make a stilt. One pole is nailed onto the sea bed and the other is placed like a cross bar and acts as a plank for the fishermen to sit on. Each stilt can accommodate only one fisherman. For catching fish, they create a rod made of Kithul, and a small plastic bag is tied around their waist to hold the fish that they catch. With one hand they hold onto the stilt and with the other they hold the rod that catches fish. The tradition of stilt fishing will always be practiced by those who cannot afford to invest in modern fishing equipment. #likealocal](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6055022/5663edf6-51ff-4b81-ad55-7891df4e41a5.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Koggala Lake 11 min drive \- 3.6 miles - Yatagala Raja Maha Viharaya 7 min drive \- 1.8 miles - Mihiripenna Beach 9 min drive \- 3.0 miles ### Getting around - Midigama Railway Station 28 min drive - Colombo (CMB-Bandaranaike Intl.) 123 min drive ### Restaurants - Cafe One Sixty Six A 9 min drive - Shanthi Beach Resort 8 min drive - Kabala Sunset Cafe 9 min drive - Una Tuna 9 min drive - Blue Caffeine 9 min drive ## Frequently asked questions ### Is John's Homestay pet-friendly? ### How much is parking at John's Homestay? ### What time is check-in at John's Homestay? ### What time is check-out at John's Homestay? ### Where is John's Homestay located? ## Have a question?
