Celebrating the heritage fisheries of the Severn Estuary. Pretty much obsessed with the wildlife, history and cultural heritage of the estuary.
Why do I go lave net fishing?? It’s certainly not just about the catching. Early doors in the estuary in June, there’s nowhere else I’d rather be.

In a few months time, millions of elvers will be nearing the end of their journey from the Sargasso Sea. Many will enter the Severn estuary, they can make for truly a special sight. Sadly we don’t welcome them with open arms.

Where to start on here? Let’s have a look at the lave net, the only heritage fishing method still practiced on the Severn.
A great clip of Colin Cooke demonstrating how to use a lave net, we do things exactly the same, except now we’re a 100% catch and release fishery.
