Shortly after the Fisher Poets Gathering at the end of February 2009, Rhoda Toteff of Kalama, Washington kindly forwarded the link to a website of Historic Fishing photo albums, about which I had heard, but never had been able to locate. Rhoda and her husband Jim Toteff, fisher poet and former Columbia River gillnetter who now fishes out of Kodiak, Alaska have contributed many of the photos one can view in these albums. Rhoda credits Jon Norgaard as being instumental in getting this site going. (Thanks to Bruce Jolma for providing the updated link to the Historic Fishing Photographs site on December 5, 2010.)
