Cree people used s dip-net in the winter months and a gill-net in summer to fish with. They caught maskininge, whitefish, lake trout and wall-eyed pike-perch which they would often freeze and preserve. Spearing fish was another method generally done by the males of the tribe. This image shows a group of Natives at camp either before or after a day of fishing.
