Cenarth, Coracle Fishing c.1960

More about this scene
An audience watches from the old bridge as two coracle fishermen cast their nets for salmon or sea-trout. Sturgeon have also been caught here. Trying to land a 300lb, 8-foot fish from these small craft would seem a hazardous task, but it was once done in 1896 on the River Towy, overturning two coracles and breaking three nets in the process.
