Fish Wheelswere so effective and therefore banned in the United States because they threatened the salmon population
A fish wheel is a water-powered device used for catching fish, particularly salmon. Their design was simple: it consists of a revolving wheel with baskets and paddles attached to its rim. The wheel rotates due to the current of the stream pressing the bottom basket or paddle that has swung down into the water.
When the wheel is floated on the river, the river current turns the wheel causing the baskets to scoop down upon the salmon traveling upstream and lift them out of the water. The ingenious device can catch large amounts of fish, and the best part is that the fishermen don’t even have to be there. A holding tank is placed beside the wheel to receive the falling fish. A harvester need only come by only a few times each day to remove and process caught fish from the holding tank.

In that show,"Life Below Zero" they are used by one family every winter.

 

[GOYABEAN]

Yeah also on Yukon Men without the fishing wheels working on their own they wouldn't have enough time to get other essential work done

I think they're allowed to use them because of their ancestry.

Correct. They have a specific season.

The guy that uses it on Life Below Zero is a white male transplant from the lower 48.

bird lime is another old school "banned because it's too effective" hunting technique.

Is it the Boston accent that gives it away?

I was wrong. It's actually the seal hunt that's limited to the natives and their descendants.

I'm actually talking about this guy. I think you are referring to the guy married to the Eskimo. The guy in taking about below catches thousands of fish with his fish wheel below.

 

[Acer-m14]

"married to the Eskimo" yep .. i thought he had one too .. i could be mistaken ..

Yea. It's individuals who rely on fish to live not the commercial fishermen that are threatening the species. What a joke
