Two anglers stand in the current with long rods angled over the water, the kind of fishing that once drew sportsmen from towns and cities to rivers where salmon ran each season. Angling for salmon was prized as both sport and table food, and by the late 1800s many rivers in Britain, Canada and the northeastern United States were already feeling pressure from dams, pollution and overfishing. Pictures like this one record a leisure pursuit that depended on healthy runs of wild fish, so the scene also hints at how much the sport relied on the river itself.
