Prehistoric Fishing Methods of the Northern Great Plains Region

Many of us consider ourselves "fishermen." Many fishermen consider themselves good fishermen. A select few of the good fishermen are professional sport-fishermen, those who pursue big fish for a living. All of these fishermen undoubtedly use modern day rods and reels, often with expensive lures and other equipment that are "guaranteed" to produce a good catch .• Not even the best equipment can ensure a satisfying catch, however. Many times, even the best modern fishermen can dock the boat with nothing to show for his efforts but a cold.
