First Nations peoples traditionally caught halibut using various methods, prominently including longlines and traps. Longlines consisted of a main line with numerous baited hooks spaced along its length, which were set in deep waters where halibut were abundant. In addition to longlines, some groups used large, weighted nets or traps that could ensnare the fish. These methods were often supplemented by traditional knowledge of seasonal patterns and halibut behavior, ensuring successful catches.
