Little Harbour Fishers

This is a picture I took of fishernmen in Little Harbour, a small community just outside Twillingate, Newfoundland. These fishermen are preparing their nets and boats to go caplin fishing in the morning. With the decline in the fishing industry in Newfoundland, we are seeing a whole way of life slowly disappearing before our eyes. At one time there were many fishing boats operating from this tiny community but now there is only one boat of fishermen who fish. It is very sad to see happening. I converted the colour image to black and white as, I believe, it better depicts our link to our fishing history.
