Seining and Weighing Trout at Springville Fish Cultural Station, 1949

Two men standing a shallow pool (a fish hatchery raceway; the water level is just below their knees), holding a long rectangular net between them. Beyond them is an embankment, with two more men lifting a small metal tub on to the back of the flatbed of the pickup truck of 1940's vintage; a large, rectangular metal tank is on the flatbed. The tank is marked "U.S. FISH & WILDLIFE SERVICE". Visible in the distance, beyond an open field, is a small structure, a utility pole, and a line of trees.
