Coracle fisherman on the Teifii seen here with something in the net - and its heavy
Coracle fisherman on the Teifii seen here with something in the net - and its heavy. The net is drawn in and the catch is taken aboard.. Following a pattern evolved over two thousand years ago, coracle builders construct the oval, basket-shaped boats that were being used by ancient Britons when Caesar invaded the island. Willow and hazel rods are bent into shape and covered with tarred calico, making a small, light craft in which a single paddler sits. They are used mainly by salmon fishers along remote Welsh rivers, and coracle men have been responsible for adding measurably to Britains fish supply during the war. When conditions are favourable the men often work for 19 hours a day. Circa 1945

EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the Ancient Art of Coracle Fishing on the Teifii River". In this photo print, we witness a coracle fisherman on the Teifii River, his net drawn in and heavy with an impressive catch. This traditional method of fishing has been passed down through generations, dating back over two thousand years to ancient Britons. The construction of these oval-shaped boats is truly remarkable. Skilled coracle builders meticulously bend willow and hazel rods into shape before covering them with tarred calico. The result is a small and lightweight craft that can be easily maneuvered by a single paddler. Primarily used by salmon fishers along remote Welsh rivers, coracles played a vital role in Britain's fish supply during wartime. These dedicated fishermen often worked tirelessly for up to 19 hours a day when conditions were favorable. The image transports us to rural Wales in the 1940s, where two men donning flat caps row their coracle against the picturesque backdrop of the river. Their expertise and dedication are evident as they skillfully navigate their vessel while ensuring every valuable catch is safely taken aboard. This print from Memory Lane Prints captures not only a moment frozen in time but also pays homage to an ancient tradition that continues to thrive today. It serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and the enduring connection between man and nature.
