"Dry pants catch no fish" is a Bulgarian proverb.
It means that there is nothing gained (the figurative fish), unless one puts in the effort and hard work necessary to achieve their goal (in the proverb, getting one's pants wet by going in the water to catch the fish).
Or, in other words, it means that one has to endure inconvenience or discomfort (getting one's pants wet, for example) in order to achieve worthwhile results, goals, or desires.
To better explain this concept, I leave you with a few similar proverbs from around the world:
No pain, no gain.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Fair words butter no cabbage. - Serbian
The ground is always frozen for lazy pigs. - Danish
Laziness goes so slowly that poverty overtakes it. - Dutch
He who would sweep the hut must not sit on the broom. - Bantu
