Part of Al Monner news negatives
A fish elevator caretaker at the McNary Dam uses a net to capture blueback salmon at the McNary Dam on the Columbia River. He stands in front of a pot lined with metal mesh, while holding two fish in a net. Engineers at the dam were attempting to trap and save blueback salmon to strengthen the 1951 run. This photograph was published in the Oregon Journal on Sunday, July 15, 1951 (negative 16 of 26).
