From the days when the Pomo lived on the banks of the Noyo until the depletion of the fishing stocks the lower reaches of the Noyo provided the only harbour between San Francisco and Eureka big enough to moor a sizable fleet of fishing boats. I have been slowly assembling a collection of photos depicting the Noyo fishing fleet over the years:
