Haaf Netting on the River Nith at Glencaple near Dumfries. Haaf net fishing, once a common sight on the Solway estuary was a traditional method of Salmon fishing supposedly introduced by the Vikings which involved standing in the tidal current and waiting for the fish to swim into the net.

The River Nith where it meets the Solway.
Frost and Ice accumulations are quite amazing after more than a week of freezing temps, there hasn’t been any snow yet, just looks like it.
