Crap, 12000 years is nothing. They ought to look in Sauerkraut's cellar if they really want to see old decrepit crap being used by prehistoric human types.

i have a friend who is a narragansett indian. He has told me that hundreds of years ago, they would troll in their dug out canoes with vines as line and lures made out of the wishbone of a turkey dressed with small seagull feathers..

You got a kayak.
Sounds like a plan.
Just leave those RI squaws alone.

The Boston fish weirs were found when the Boylston st. subway tunnel was dug. A weir is a wood fence that is put across a tidal stream. When the tide goes out, the fish are trapped in the stream. No need of tackle - just wade out and throw fish in a basket.
