Net Weight Manufacture and Use in the Pacific Northwest

For much of their history in the Pacific Northwest, Indigenous people have used nets to catch fish in rivers. Various styles of fishing nets were used for different environments (riverine, reef, lake) and types of fish. The base of the fishing net was held in place with stone net weights. At the water’s surface, nets were supported with wooden floats. The gauge, or space between the cordage in the net, was carefully planned to catch specific fish. Different gauge sizes at different levels of the net allowed people to capture fish that swim at different depths. Salmon, the most important fish species in the region, were caught in large quantities to be stored and eaten throughout the year when other foods were scarce.
