Columbia River Fishing
Fishing on a sandbar in the Columbia River. The horses were used to draw in the fishing nets that were cast into the river by fishermen in boats. The photograph is from the records of the Pacific Northwest Regional Planning Commission, which assisted state planning commissions in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Montana on issues concerning the protection of the Columbia River fisheries, drainage basins, and the Columbia Gorge.
