Portfolio VIII, plate 274

"Along the middle course of the Columbia at places where the abruptness of the shore and the upstream set of an eddy make such method possible, salmon were taken, and still are taken, by means of a long-handled dip net. At favorable seasons a man will, in a few hours, secure several hundred salmon."-Curtis
