Photographic collections: Catching the Tide by Colin McPherson
Catching the Tide by Colin McPherson
Catching the Tide was a long-term project carried out by photographer Colin McPherson to document salmon net-fishing in Scotland. McPherson began his work in 1995 and the project continued until 2007 during and after which the photography was exhibited in Scotland and published worldwide. In 2016 the Scottish Government imposed a three-year moratorium on coastal net fishing for salmon and sea trout, forcing most of the few remaining netting stations to close.
