Celilo Falls fishing overview 1938

9305-B7372. Indians fishing at Celilo Falls, September 1938. The cablecar line in the foreground was for a hand operated car that went from this spot on the Oregon riverbank to Chinook rock, which can be seen on the extreme left. Within two years this was replaced by a footbridge that would be reconstructed every year. This was the area that was most accessible to tourists, who were constantly walking around therocks buying fish and the low-hanging cable line was a hazard.
