ca. 1920. Dip net as used on the Green River, King County, Washington. This differs somewhat from those used in other localities. There are two cross-arms not three and the network of strings is attached to and hangs from the cross-arms. A loop at the top held by the fisherman warns by a tremor of the approach of a salmon. The appliance when lifted enclosed the salmon. The net assumed a basket shape. (Caption from note typed on back of photo) (Donated by Arthur Ballard) TPL-8038
