Pequot+Fishing

Fishing  The Native Americans caught fish like salmon, pike, trout, bluefish, cod, and flounder.

 They would catch the fish with spears, nets, hooks and traps. In the spring they would use traps and nets to catch fish swimming up the streams and rivers. They would also ice fish with hooks and bait during the winter.

In the fall the local native people smoked extra fish over a fire to make it last through the winter.

 Did you know the Native Americans used fish for food and fertilizer? They used the bones for tools like needles.
