That’s when salmon tasted magic not like the shit now

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

I hope there never is nets in the river again way more money in sport fishing over netting.

Wish they hadn't killed all those fish now

Iam Dutch and net Zander and trap Eels with fykenets...been to Scotland many times,even back in the 70ts,love this and gonna try to get the book....diffecult for me coz I never buy someting online...thanks and greets from the Netherlands

So thats how salmon stock are runnjng low

On winder the numbers have dropped ! Now its showing lucky if you get a fish now in a season most rivers I used to fish had good run of fish not now gone I hope I'll see them again !!!!

A slaughter

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.

Too useless to catch them with a fishing rod, climate change 😂😂😂😅 it was the nets that killed the salmon you haggis munching turkey. I can’t believe you had the cheek to blame climate change hahahaha 😂😂😂😂. What a deluded maniac

I fish this stretch of river , i cant fathom if this is above or below the bridge .

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 😂

omg i loved boars need

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!!!

Brilliant! Thank you!

The best job ever!
