The future of fishing might look a lot like the fishing techniques of our Pacific Northwest ancestors.
Via YouTube: We are proud to share a new video made in partnership with North Fork Studios. This year’s video features commercial fisherman Billie Delaney as she operates Oregon’s first commercial fish trap in the lower Columbia River in over 73 years.
The video highlights the new passive fishing technique, told from the unique perspective of a young progressive fisher with over a decade of commercial fishing experience. Billie assisted Wild Fish Conservancy with the design, construction, and operation of the new passive fish trap; hear why she thinks this form of selective, alternative gear fishing offers enormous promise for the future of wild fish, coastal fishing communities, and consumers alike.
