An Egyptian fisherman in a red jacket handles fishing nets bundled around tall reed (بوص) poles on the shore of Lake Burullus (Buhayrat al-Burullus), a major brackish coastal lagoon in Kafr El Sheikh Governorate. A second fisherman and a traditional painted wooden rowing boat are visible in the background. Reed poles are commonly used in traditional Egyptian lake fishing as net supports and fish trap frames, a practice deeply embedded in the livelihood of Delta fishing communities.
