Traditional Halibut Fish HOok

This is a traditional U-shaped Halibut fish hook used by Native Americans from Central California and North.  It is made of steam-bent Yew wood, dogbane or spruce root cord and a bone spike.    This style traditional hooks were used to catch fish from a few pounds up to 200lbs.  If interested check out the calendar for the traditional fishing course where we will be making fish-spears, Yew hooks, handwoven fish nets, lures and fish-traps.
