The first half of this video gives an idea of what was involved in the fishing.

Good footage of a net being fished: holding the bottom of the net through the top: the “bag” with the fish being tipped into the boat: the jellyfish: replacing the “headpole”, “springing” (releasing) the headpole. This was filmed on the East Coast of Scotland. Their boat has an outboard engine. The Ardnamurchan boats always had inboards

Armadale Wild Salmon Fishing

Another little video of a salmon coble going out to fish a bagnet. Good footage of the headpole being pushed back, the layout of the net and the hauling aboard of the “bag” full of fish. Fascinating to see how they got the catch from the boat to their packing shed.

This film has some interesting archive material of rowed salmon boats as well as a fascinating account of efforts to build a new wooden coble

And this is a very engaging trailer for what looks to be a very worthwhile film that seems yet to be released

This is a delightful video from the Highland Archive Service looking deep into the long history of salmon fishing in the North of Scotland. Lorna explains the life cycle of salmon very simply as well as recounting some wonderful anecdotes from the past. Great listening

Net mending. What he in the video calls a “halfer” we called a “three legger” Before a hole could be mended it had to be cleaned up to make sure it had two three leggers: one to start on, the other to finish on
