Fishing in Downes Channel 1956

CS00963-14. Fishing in Downes channel, Spring 1956. The rope coming from the boom pole beside the fisherman is there to keep his net open in the downsteam direction. The setup is good for catching fish who are heading upstream but are beaten back by the strong current. The fishing platform on the opposite side has been rebuilt for the season with new support beams
