Traditional Salmon Fishing Methods

Caption

A diversity of traditional salmon fishing methods still being used around the North Pacific allow fishers to target salmon runs in or close to river systems--rather than in the open ocean, where more vulnerable and healthy stocks intermingle. Selective fishing tools also enable in-season monitoring, where fishers can assess a run's health in real time, while releasing non-target species unharmed.
