Field Dress Fishing Collection
The spear, net, line and rod seem to have appeared almost simultaneously in Egypt. Early ways of the main fishing methods started appearing in the Neolithic times between 8,000 and 4,000 years ago. Ancient Egypt, as we know, was on the Nile and heavily depended on it for its fish. Methods of fishing used on the Nile are shown on the walls of tombs, on drawings, and papyrus documents. Ancient Egyptians fished from small reed ships for Nile perch, catfish and eels and used woven nets, weir baskets, harpoons, and hook and line to catch them. First metal barbed fish hooks appeared during the 12th dynasty. Fishing changed little over the centuries with some techniques still being used today and we love it.
