BOTH THE RIVERS AND THE OCEAN SHORES. ESPECIALLY THE CLEAR LAKE POMO ALONG THE LAKE SHORES DEVELOPED A VERY COMPLEX WAY OF FISHING AND HAD ELABORATE NETS AND FISH TRAPS AS WELL AS OBSIDIAN, SHELL OR BONE FISH HOOKS. THEY BUILT THEIR BOATS AND RAFTS OUT OF TULE. STREAM FISHING WAS DONE BY MAKING A WEIR OF WILLOW LACINGS AS WELL AS BY SPEARING THEM. AND OF COURSE THE TRIBES USED GROUND UP SOAPROOT BULBS IN THE WATER TO STUPIFY THE FISH. THEN THEY WERE SCOOPED UP WITH BASKETS AND DRIED OR SMOKED. SEINE NETS AND OTHER NETS WERE USED TO CATCH FISH IN THE LAKE. ALSO THEY USED A HARPOON TO CATCH LARGER FISH.
IN THE OCEAN THE COAST MIWOK AND OTHERS COLLECTED ABALONE AND DRIED IT RAW. THEN COOKED IT IN STRIPS ON HOT COALS IN AN EARTHEN OVEN. THERE WERE MABY OTHER FISH CAUGHT FROM THE OCEAN. ALSO CRABS, SEA LIONS, SEALS AND OTTERS WERE ALSO SPEARED AND EATEN.
