The Corps of Discovery fished for catfish. Catfish were large and plentiful in the Missouri River. To catch the fish, the explorers cut a tree branch to use as a pole. They tied a fishing line with a hook to the tree branch. The men fried the fish they caught in a pan or roasted fish on sticks over the fire.
