  • Ackroyd 04353-15. "Smelt fishing, Sandy River at Troutdale April 24, 1953" caption published in Oregonian on March 17, 2010 pg. B1: "Fishermen use dip nets to catch smelt in the 1950s at the mouth of the Sandy River. In the past, Smelt fishing was strong in the Sandy, Cowlitz and Lewis river and in the Columbia River downstream of Bonneville Dam." (article about Pacific smelt at moderate risk of extinction, and the Obama administration decision to add smelt to the list of fish protected under the Endangered Species Act.)

Caption in Anchorage Daily Times: "Reeling in the first one, Secretary of Interior Julius Krug (extreme right) was pleased with the catch of fish from the waters of Skilak river last Friday which gave good evidence of Alaska's offerings for the fishing enthusiast.

Leslie G Mulzer, commanding officer of Fort Richardson; Lieut. Commander Edward P. Chester, naval aide to Gov. Ernest Gruening; Creekmore Fath, special assistant to Secretary Krug and Mr. Krug."

  • 9305-A4562. These fish were caught at Stile's, a popular fishing spot known for Redsides and Steelheads. The Stile was a resort on the Deschutes river, with cabins, general store and gas station located 16 miles east of The Dalles, Oregon. Photographer Everett Olmstead of the Elite Studio took this picture after he established his studio in The Dalles in 1932. He made post cards from this negative, which were sold at the Stile's gas station.

  • 9305-A4309. Overview of Indians fishing at Horseshoe falls, in Celilo Falls. Taken about 1928, before the view became cluttered with numerous cables strung between the seven principal islands in Celilo Falls. View from the Oregon shore and looking west. On the left is Chinook rock and the footbridge to it. Behind it is Standing island, Chief island and the main falls. In the center is Horseshoe falls and behind it is the Albert islands. On the extreme right, Indians are fishing in Downes channel. In the foreground are Yakama Indian fishing platforms. Every year in October these would be dismantled and stored until they could be reassembled the following year.

  • 9305-B7338. The heavily fished channel between Chief and Standing islands about 1928. In the background is Ateem rock, that the Albert brothers took over in the 1930s. They were Yakama Indians that forced the Culpus family away from their traditioal site, taking over and excluding other Indians. They poured concrete forms on the rock to change the channel to their advantage as well as a base for their own cable car; Ateem became the most altered of any of the Celilo Falls fishing sites except the previously dynamited Downes channel that was enlarged in the 1880s to make room for a fish wheel. Ultimately the Albert brothers were forced to relinquish their monopoly on the island, but the dispute remained a continual crisis in Celilo for many years.

  • 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.

  • 9305-B7328. Indians fishing at Horseshoe Falls, Celilo. These Indians are using stationary nets, rather than movable ones. They are holding the strings attached to their net to let them know when a fish lands, when they quickly pull the net out of the river. The board and pulley beside the Indian hanging over the platform edge supports the wire that holds the net hoop. May 1936

  • CS00378-09. Indians fishing in Downes channel at Celilo Falls, September 1953. This is a good example of the tremendous amount of amateur photography that was taken at Celilo. Lafie Foster, the photographer of The Dalles Daily Chronicle, said that in the years immediately before 1957, more pictures were taken at Celilo than anywere else in the state. This 35mm Kodachrome slide was made by a linolium installer from Portland, Constantine Zimmerman. Ultimately, the interesting composition of the photograph earned it a place in the book Wild Beauty.
