Page 2 Spilyay Tymoo May 17 Spring Ceremonial Fishing Ceremonial fishers of the Confederated Tribes were recently at the Columbia River. On hand were the William Slockish crew (right), here collecting data on their catch at Koberg, just east of Hood River. Meanwhile, Michael McConville's crew (below) pack fish for the trip to the tribal freezer. Most of the fish this year are individually packed in vacuum bags so they keep in good shape for long term storage. Albert Kalama Sr.'s crew, Fisheries staff and Fish and Wildlife Committee members work up and pack fish for transport. Fishing conditions were tough this year. Snow melt started just before the nets went. The snow melt caused a swift current, lots of woody material and murky water in the Columbia River. Nets required frequent clearing of branches, and resetting of the net layout. By the the date of these photos, May 10, the total catch was just 154 fish short of goal of 1,000 fish.
