 Click on this picture to see a huge catch of salmon caught in reef nets near Lummi Island. There were so many fish that the fisherman could scoop the them out of the water.

 The fish falling from this net were all caught in one day in just one boat.

This man is on the lookout for salmon! He is standing on a tall tower looking for the splashing of fins that meant the fish were coming. "Get the nets ready", he calls to the others. This type of fishing was called reef netting.
