มุมมอง 9K4 ปีที่แล้ว
A short video about salmon netting on the River Spey. Taken at the end of the salmon netting in 1993, it shows a typical shot with narration from John Bennett, who worked on the nets a few years earlier, and whose novel, The Summer Crew is set on the nets.

    It's quite simple, when it's not sustainable anymore it has to stop. Looking at it 30 years later it's hard to see an entire pool cleaned out. Yes culture is important but not at the expense of a species.

    i came from generations of gills netters and remember lifting nets with my father as a boy in a clinker on strangford lough n.ire, it never seemed fair to me so i never took it up, i catch them with rod and line and let them go, seeing 1 swim off again is a better wage than 1 on the table

    I’d have thought that they could’ve returned the hen fish to try to make it more sustainable

    Great guys. Not so many left nowadays for the angler that pays a fortune to fish and return all fish, disgusting I’m thinking . Take , take and take until there is nothing left.

    Done this myself on the west coast of Ireland. Drift and draft nets slightly different way of working but when the nets closed and you see a fish jump...FISH IN HER! Boys dropping their tea everywhere 😂

    My grandfather worked on the nets on the river Forth near Stirling. Clearly this was an exciting job as he remembered lots of details well into old age. His favourite story was when they shot the net at the mouth of the river Allan where it joins the Forth. Several floats dipped and they thought they'd caught a sunken branch or tree. It appeared to come in when they pulled so they thought it best to keep pulling and untangle it on the bank. It turned out to be a 30+lb salmon!!!
