There were many ways that Yolngu caught fish.
Nets woven with pandanus (gunga) were used and have a deep meaning of connection between family groups. This is used as the logo of "Laynhapuy Homelands".
Another way was to use stone fish traps where tidal flats were semi-dammed so that at low tide, fish would be caught in the large shallow pools and could be easily caught.
Another way was to dam a creek with branches, then allow a small opening for the water to flow through into a catching device so that bigger fish could be picked out.
Fish spears were also used.
Yolngu also made strong, thin string with Karijong bark, and made hooks.
Today, many Yolngu still use spears and hand lines to catch fish.
