Sweetwater: Fishing in the Great Lakes Region

About the Project

 

This project’s main focus is on individuals in the Great Lakes Region and their stories that stem from their relationships to fishing and the water. I’ve gathered content from different fishing demographics: those who fish for leisure, sport, and out of necessity. I cast a wide net for interviewees in order to gather a well rounded picture of fishing culture in the Great Lakes region and how it’s changing. This project is about the ties of people to fish, fish to water, and water to all.
