For many years under the darkness of the night sky, thousands of small-scale fishermen set sail off various beaches of Lake Victoria, lit various types of kerosene lamps and waited for fish to come to their cast nets.

Drawn by the light, hundreds of sardine-like fish popularly known as Omena leap out of the water and into the nets which are then hauled into the fishermen’s canoes.
