Chinookan people fished using nets and weirs as well as spears.
"Fishing provided the lifeblood of Chinook subsistence and culture. Annual fish runs of salmon, sturgeon, steelhead trout, eulachon and herring were eaten fresh and smoke-dried for winter consumption or trade. A number of explorers and traders witnessed Chinook fishers near the mouth of the Columbia in the early 19th century, and recorded their observations. Gabriel Franchere described Chinookan dip-net fishing in fall and summer in 1810, noting that fishers built stages over waterfalls to dip-net upriver sites. Between 1811 and 1814, Alexander Ross wrote about eulachon (smelt) fishers who used scoop nets or rakes to harvest the fish and then smoke-dried and skewered them to trade to people living in The Dalles, Oregon. In 1857, James Swan published drawings of salmon seine fishers and described detachable gaff hooks, the most common tool used by Chinookan sturgeon fishers. The prized sturgeon were then steamed in an earth oven or smoke-dried for later consumption." - ChinookStory.org

Salmon, abundant in the wild streams and rivers of the Pacific Northwest, were the most important food source for the Chinook. Men used pointed spears to impale the salmon.

They also took some marine animals such as clams and mussels. Unlike other northwest coast tribes, the Chinook rarely hunted sea mammals such as whales and seals.
