* Stationary nets: These nets were set up in a location where fish were known to migrate, such as near a river mouth. The nets were made of natural fibers, such as kelp or cedar bark, and were held in place by stakes driven into the riverbed.
* Fishing traps: These traps were made of wood or other natural materials, and were designed to catch fish as they swam through them. The traps were baited with bait, such as fish eggs, and were placed in areas where fish were known to congregate.
* Dip nets: These nets were used to catch fish from the surface of the water. The nets were made of natural materials, such as kelp or cedar bark, and were attached to a long pole. The fishermen would dip the net into the water and scoop up fish.
* Seine nets: These nets were used to catch fish by surrounding them with a large net. The net was held up by floats and weighted down by sinkers. The fishermen would row their canoes in a circle, pulling the net behind them. When the net was closed, the fish were trapped inside.
2. Spearing
* Hand spears: These spears were made of wood or bone, and had a sharp point at one end. The spear could be thrown at fish from a distance.
* Bows and arrows: These were also used to spear fish, and were especially effective for hunting fish in shallow water.
3. Trolling
* Hook and line: The Haida used hook and line to catch fish, using bait such as fish eggs, worms, or small fish.
* Trolling: The Haida would tow a line with baited hooks from their canoes, and catch fish as they moved through the water.
4. Jigging
* Jigs: Jigs were used to catch fish by repeatedly raising and lowering a baited hook in the water.
5. Harvesting shellfish
* Clamming: The Haida gathered clams by digging them up from the sand or mud flats.
* Oystering: The Haida gathered oysters by using a sharp tool to pry them off rocks.
The Haida were skilled fishermen, and they used a variety of methods to catch fish and other seafood. These methods allowed them to provide for their families and communities, and to trade with other tribes.
