Fishtrap

 Fishtrap: The fishtrap was the most common way of catching salmon. The Tlingits would put a wooden fence across a river with rapids and the fish would swim upstream into wooven baskets on the fence. Another method for catching fish with a fish trap was to put wooden posts tightly together in a stream which would slow the salmons journey up river
and the tlingits would spear them.
