Floats and net

FLOATS AND NET AT EDISEN FISHERY, ISLE ROYALE NATIONAL PARK, MICHIGAN, AUGUST 14, 2012

This photo was taken inside the net house at the restored commercial fishery established in 1895 on Isle Royale and named for Pete Edisen, who ran it from the 1930s until 1978. It is still in operation in a small way; a local fisher who lives there provides lake trout and whitefish to the restaurant at Rock Harbor Lodge.
