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
