Dipnet fishing, a traditional Native American method of catching salmon.
: : :
A couple weeks ago,
I shared another image of Native Americans fishing the Klickitat River
for salmon in ‘Rurality Blog Hop #35.’
(Click on the post name to view previous information about Native American dipnet fishing on the Klickitat River).
In that post I mentioned the rickety,
dangerous looking platforms that cling to the side of the rocks,
upon which fishermen stood/stand to fish with nets attached to very long handles.
: : :
I won’t repeat all that information here,
I don’t want to bore those that have already read the post,
but did want to share another image from the Native Americans dipnet fishing
on the Klickitat River
to show those platforms to give
a richer understanding
of this traditional
salmon
fishing method.

What a lovely place!
that’s really neat! i’ve never seen such a fishing production!
Oh you always get the most incredible shots. I LOVE this shot and would love to stand there and watch this. B
That is very interesting, I’ve not heard of dipnet fishing before. What a beautiful spot to fish.
Great to see another image of an interesting tradition.
That makes me nervous just looking at this…no rail or anything on those platforms.
Wow, I am going to go read the previous post now!
and here i thought it was “new age” fishing. one learns something new everyday. i don’t fish ;)
certainly looks precarious.
I so enjoy your photography from the Pacific Northwest. Lovely!
Wow Madge that is really interesting and scary looking… Great capture. My hubby is from WA state and I can’t think of to many things that are better than fresh salmon out of the river…yum!
Those platforms do look fragile. The photograph really helps us visualize the process. The photo in the previous post is beautiful!
Your previous photo and post looked fairly harmless. This one however is mindboggling at the lengths they go to fish.
I’m not sure if that top platform I see is attached or floating over. It looks dangerous at best.
Thanks for sharing this tradition with us.
Love the shot!
that fishing teknique looks very complicated. Interesting shot.
Do you do deep net fishing? AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love your photographs.
I see God in them – so beautiful.
Thanks for following me.
I am following you on bloglvoin!

Wonderful photography ~ reminds me a bit of China ~ enjoy ~ and thanks for hosting! ~ carol, xx
Amazing. It must be exhilarating to catch salmon this way.
That’s quite amazing! It’s wonderful how they learned to use what was there to feed themselves.
Great photo, Madge! It looks very interesting but also a little dangerous.
That would be fun to try.
Beautiful clarity in this photo! The platforms do look a might precarious. Have you been out on one? :)
great living planet pic

That’s really neat. First I’ve heard of it! I bet that salmon is good.

Reminds me of when I use to live in Alaska.
It looks like it takes quite a lot of maneuvering to get this done.
I loved the last shot and I love this one as well. It was interesting to read about this. My boys are all huge fisherman, so anything linked to fishing we like.
How interesting! I’ve not seen this before. I used to fish quite a bit but never for salmon. And I’d probably fall head-first into the water if I tried dipnet fishing! :)
So pretty and fascinating to see how fishing was
Fantastic perspective, Madge!
Thanks for your visit today! To answer your question, I teach 2nd grade and have been teaching for 17 years. Currently I teach 2nd grade students, but have also taught special needs children.
What a system in order to fish, and what a scenic place! I would imagine it to be a very noisy operation.
Another crystal clear, picture perfect shot! AWESOME!!! Hope you are feeling good again…:)JP
It must be just amazing to watch this!
Interesting as always♫
You always have the most interesting things to show us. I need to stop filtering out so many things when I’m out and about. Funny, I first saw “Dipstick” fishing in your title. I didn’t know if the subject was going to be the fisherman or the car part. lol
