Salmon Fishing on the River Wye, Herefordshire: A Scene from the 1980s This evocative photograph captures the essence of traditional salmon fishing on the River Wye in Herefordshire, England, during the early 1980s. The image, published in The Times on January 27, 1987, caused quite a stir when it was revealed that the salmon in the picture was actually from the freezer and had not been caught the previous day, as the fishing season had only just opened. The scene is set on a crisp winter morning, with the sun casting a golden glow over the tranquil river. A ghillie, dressed in tweed and waders, stands at the ready in the bow of the punt, holding a landing net. His fisherman client, clad in a waterproof jacket and hat, casts a fly line into the river from the stern, his rod bending slightly as he applies gentle pressure. The River Wye, renowned for its prime salmon fishing, winds its way through the picturesque countryside of Herefordshire, providing a serene backdrop to this timeless activity. The punt, a traditional flat-bottomed boat, glides effortlessly through the water, its punt pole propped up against the riverbank. Angling, a pastime steeped in history and tradition, has long been a popular pursuit in the UK, and the River Wye is one of its most famous destinations. The ghillie, an experienced local guide, assists the fisherman in navigating the river, providing valuable advice on fishing techniques and local knowledge. This photograph, taken in the 1980s, transports us back to a simpler time, when the rhythm of the seasons and the natural world played a more prominent role in our lives. Despite the controversy surrounding the out-of-season salmon, the image remains a beautiful testament to the enduring appeal of salmon fishing on the River Wye.
