Winter fishing "Mungkha" is the most mass kind of fishing to crucians... Women  and children take part in it too...Winter day is short and everybody starts working hastily... According to the tradition, it is strictly forbidden for women to touch a net... If woman oversteps a seine, fishing can be cancelled - 

there would be no fortune...
