Lave Net Fishermen End of Season Open Day

@ Black Rock Picnic Site

End of season open day which will include a lave net fishing demonstration, exhibition, film and refreshments.

Watch the last lave net fishermen in Wales fish for salmon with their ancient traditional hand-held nets in the treacherous waters of the Severn Estuary in the shadow of the Second Severn Crossing. The Doug Brown shield for the biggest salmon of the season will also be presented!

The fishermen's net house overlooks the fishery and visitors are very welcome on fishing days to visit the net house and talk to the fishermen about this unique method of fishing.
