Dipping Bass at Corning Fish Cultural Station in 1949

Two men standing on the bank of a fisheries pond, operating a large rectangular net that features short wooden poles for handling; they have the center part of the net down in the water below them. They are standing near a short water control structure. Behind them on a dirty road is a pickup truck of 1940s vintage (with a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service emblem on the door). Behind the roadway is what appears to be another fisheries pool, with a belt of woods in the distance.
