Snaring...................................Fish

[JackWard 0]

Hi

 

 

 

Ive heard plenty of stories about people, snaring salmon/Sea trout years back when decent numbers of fish use to be in our river

 

 

 

Anyone else heard of this.

Yes you run a snare through a piece of small bore pipe, you can slip the snare over the body of the fish , and pull it tight through the pipe so griping the fish against the pipe end

aahhh the memoriees we used to do this in the summer hols to make some extra cash 2 foot length of tubing alcathene pipe works the best as it doesnt damage the fish as much and an old bike brake cable.

best to let the fish run through the hoop and get its tail be wearing a pair of waiders as well cos they have some fight in them.

not that you'll be attempting this cos its not entirely legal

we used to use a single strand of brass rabbit snare wire formed into a snare a fastened to he end of a stick for catching trout from the local beck, i used it at night with a lamp to get baits for pike fishing , there was a fella in the village that was a dab hand at catching trout and grayling in daylight , locally known as a sling

NEVER USED A PIPE OR ANYTHING LIKE IT ............. JUST A SNARE AND A WRIST LOOP

 

AND IVE HAD HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF SALMON AND SEA TROUT

 

 

ALL THE BEST

localy there a small river you could snare net etc ,but usaly when the fish are snareable they are coulored and best left to breed , unles a quick spate and there clean an silver , not hard to snare a fish or gaff for that matter just need to no the lies and make sure the waters kinda low and clean run ,use a big old landing net and a torch good fun pokeing the underside of bankngs and holes and netting them on the way out
