I gotta say it probably is not a real method to catch/kill fish.
I would use some other method in a survival situation, such as herding fish in shallow water into a corner, using a shirt or blanket as a net to scoop them,or rig up a makeshift fishing pole with a stick, some line made of whatever you've got available (fishing line, untwisting strands of twine or rope, fashioning a line from tree bark strands, etc.). You can carve sharp hooks made from sticks or spines of bushes, etc. You can also reach with your hands under undercut banks and grab hiding fish.
