Prior to that wooden or modernized style of reef net fishing boat the first people used red cedar canoes. The Lummi site in the video above became a modern version of the ancient style of fishing. About five years ago a fish processing plant claimed that the non-natives began this style of fishing....of course, we know that this is not true. A decendant of a reef-net fisherman that existed 3,000 (+) years prior to the moderized style of reef net fishing.<br /><br />alAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8851170521230214809.post-2017282092164104312008-02-03T23:03:00.000-08:002008-02-03T23:03:00.000-08:00Hi Peggy Sue.

It also is shown at Fish Creek, but not the Cove, which is shown as a landing. The journals have no information about the camps being there either. There are some photos of PAF cabins at Grandma's Cove, but that's a half century later!<BR/><BR/>No fish stories, these.<BR/><BR/>MikeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8851170521230214809.post-8126253709917711502007-10-17T17:23:00.000-07:002007-10-17T17:23:00.000-07:00Sally,Thank you.

I actually got to go out on one of the sets one day. It just happened to be a day when there were no fish! <BR/><BR/>Peggy SuePeggy Sue McRaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17824234243171682230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8851170521230214809.post-52890525564042508292007-10-17T16:48:00.000-07:002007-10-17T16:48:00.000-07:00Hi Peggy Sue,I liked the video of reefnetting.

I think the boats and towers were all wood at that time. I think they pulled the nets in by hand then but I don't really know.<BR/><BR/>I also remember hearing about a fish trap that was run by some Chinese people somewhere in the area of Granny's Cove. That was before my time though.<BR/><BR/>I'm enjoying your history lessons.<BR/><BR/>SallyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
