What better day to talk about Reefnet fishing than on #NationalGoFishingDay? 

Reefnet fishing is a traditional, sustainable fishing method used by Indigenous peoples in the Pacific Northwest, particularly the Coast Salish tribes. It involves setting up a net system over tidal channels where salmon naturally migrate. Fishers use floating platforms and underwater nets anchored to the sea floor. Spotters, often perched on high platforms, signal when a school of fish approaches, and the nets are then raised to trap the salmon. This method allows for selective harvesting, minimizing bycatch and preserving fish populations.

You are so welcome. Much more to come. Reefnetting is an 1,800 year old indigenous practice.

Thanks for explaining what Reefnet fishing is. Learned something.
