*Exif MM * q ; C( 1 ! K2 l; W i @ A salmon netter from Joseph Johnston & Sons of Montrose, recovering fish from a fly net (a type of stake net) on the sands at St. Cyrus, Aberdeenshire. Fishing with fly nets here was discontinued after the 1998 season. Catching the Tide ref: 36/97/16 (24th April 1997) The once-thriving Scottish salmon netting industry fell into decline in the 1970s and 1980s when the numbers of fish caught reduced due to environmental and economic reasons. In 2016, a three-year ban was imposed by the Scottish Government on the advice of scientists to try to boost dwindling stocks which anglers and conservationists blamed on netsmen. - ' - 'Adobe Photoshop 21.2 (Macintosh) 2021:02:05 14:26:58 Colin McPherson Photograph © Colin McPherson, 1997 Tel. +44 7831 838717 Email: colinmcpherson@mac.com 0231 * Р 4 1997:04:24 15:09:28 ( & H H Adobe_CM Adobe d k " ? 3 !1AQa"q2B#$Rb34rC%Scs5&DTdE£t6UeuF'Vfv7GWgw 5 !1AQaq"2B#R3$brCScs4%&5DTdEU6teuFVfv'7GWgw ? qaccW^ښXִ^f _Ok2p@5[?~.Uc?K]17 \X͒G+-]9X?#P鹮qpe:k6O=)oFn56ze}\V_e6: ?=_+u_U^ULk{,?~Fmo7jga\a{uL]sS !_^]^?Q?hcɣ"Jb~bձSkC*+qqݹ8˧c,pPa~U9l`nrepj55q=7M UmTḬdY_UxP 꿙ɲ~Sԗvrcu:si"Qvgc2q? 9]oYs_NQh ƼʮnV$.L\G֧ٗ3ed+V͘ <>O~/{oeNobJvrG^Y/xw
