According to local sources and the Ministry of Water and Energy (2010), fishing used to be a secondary occupation for some residents and was traditionally practiced on the Ribb River during the rainy season (spawning time), which was targeting spawning migratory fish species. But now, even though migratory fish, in particular, are hurt by the dam, which blocked them from reaching spawning areas, with the creation of the reservoir, fishers, especially those who have no land, are relying on fishing as a livelihood.
