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.
