Ballynatray Boathouse And Salmon Trap

Facing Upriver (Roughly Northeast) Circa 2000 You can see Thatched Boathouse and Salmon Trap. (Seen with nets off)

Has been in use for centuries using nothing but timber pools and handmade nets and twine. This photo was taken in spring, nets would at this time be being prepared for summer salmon session. it looks extremly flimsy but could withstand substantial tidal force. Now nolonger in use due to banning of salmon fishing on by drift, drag, and trap.
