Travelling up the west coast of Britain from Devon to the north of Scotland, maritime historian Mike Smylie interviews coastal fishermen about their lives and work. Through their stories he uncovers skills passed down from father to son that are now imperilled by declining fish stocks and government quotas, including stop-netting on the River Severn and haaf-netting for salmon and sea trout in the Solway Firth, a technique dating back to the Vikings.
