This is my neice Vicki and her husband Greg with the smaller of the salmon they caught in "their" river after the locals taught them how. They live in Patagonia and have a tributary of the Futaleufu running through their land in El Campo. The locals catch these by lassoing, using a nine or ten foot pole with a cinch rope. They dip it into the water when the fish are running and try to get it over the head, when it slips over the fish they pull just as it gets to the tail. Vicki also said they have a tradition of "hand spawning" the fish they catch this way before taking them from the water. She said they caught three fish like this which they shared among four or five families.
