12' little 3 seater green boat we bought for $400 for fishing locally and paddles we made for it. This is an extremely stable boat and will hold 8 people with freeboard to spare. That's Tebrucio in the blue and Librado in the white tee shirt.

Fishing out of little green boat with handlines (I had my bass pole) - gotta get more fishing poles as they are not supposed to be using nets during April, May and June when fish are in reproduction.

Librado preparing to throw fishing net

Another perfect throw. The 8' diameter net has lead weights all around it that sink the whole net to the bottom. When it is pulled up the fish are trapped inside. Rarely does this method come up emtpy handed.

Lovina (smallmouth bass) and Mohara (crappy) are the catch here. This is one of the best bass lakes in Mexico.

Dagoberto and Chuleo skewering fish for cooking next to the fire.That's Katarino seated. He is said to be 101 years old,but 80's is probably closer. I hope I am in that good of shape when I am his age.

Roasting fish next to the open fire.

Baking fish to take back to the other Huichols still at campamento.
