Sea Fishing in south west Scotland
SEA FISHING METHODS
The
Solway Firth at Annan is fished for salmon, trout and sea trout
by a variety of methods- some of which date back to the Burgh
Royal Charters of 1538 and 1612.
The fishermen use fixed nets
- Poke nets, and Stake nets and Haaf nets. The Haaf net which
also rests on the sea bed is supported by a fisherman.

Drift
netting or "Whammeling" salmon is not now allowed
but trawling for shrimps and mussel dredging takes place.
