In this paper, I examined the fishing image based on the analysis of the fishing tool and a fewshell mound site of the South Korean Bronze Age. As a result, fishing tools of the inland areamainly consist of small fishing net sinker. And few sell mound of Bronze Age are found com-pared with those of the Neolithic Age and Early Iron Age. The background related to these twophenomena results from change in occupation activity in the Bronze Age.It is considered that fishing image was changed by the variation in occupation activity becauseof the population growth and change in location, in other words, the transition to active agricul-ture. The transition from Food Collection system to Food Production system(agricultural society)made the change in fishing tools, and this raised the overall change in occupation activities andsociety.Therefore, In Bronze Age, actively agriculture as the main occupation, fishing was changed toauxiliary measures of agriculture to be a main occupation, different to Neolithic Age. In otherwords, the inland fishery to take river as a fishing ground near the agricultural land was popular.
