Ill tell you one thing about primitive fishing. If you are in a spot where fishing is very important... PLEASE.. !.. dont screw with the bears.

Anyone ever hear of Timothy Tredwell? What a stupid idiot! He thought bears were cute and cuddly and thought it was all Disney, and he was stupid. He even told kids not to be afraid of bears. He stayed in Alaska for two years with his stupid girlfriend and they got mauled. Even better, it was caught on tape! Really nasty, listening to them screaming.. Do a google search, I hear theyre making his story into a movie.

I don't really need to hear about a dumbass. He should have known better - end of story.
Primitive fishing:
I've used nets, spears, arrows and line to catch fish. I live on some of the best trout rivers in the world, and I take advantage of it. I can't tell you my favourite method (but it isn't line fishing, for sure), but I like atlatls because they are surprisingly the easiest to use, I find. In any case, do some of your own research. Go out and fish, have a bit of fun. It's a good way to find food.

Yes, but that's not ecological or helpful anymore - other fishermen who use the river or stream will be annoyed, and it is a method that will take more than you need.
If you want to take a lot of fish without poison, there is a technique called bailing which is very easy, but laborious. You set up two dams in the stream in a flat part. These must block the water flow. Then you bail out all of the water from the blocked section, and pick the fish out from under rocks and in the mud.

...and it's not primitive. It works though. I made one after seeing Ray Mears in Samoa (where they use it.) I used an ash branch, and carved a groove instead of making a tube. You'd be better off using a bow or atlatl if the water isn't deep enough to swim in and see through - the Hawai'ian spear sling is intended for underwater use.
