Putcher
two part conical wire skeleton basket attached to make one fishtrap, basket held together and strengthened by 17 circular interwoven strands; exit sealed with wire to enable trapping of fish. Used on the Severn Estuary to catch salmon.
Wire putchers began to replace willow ones at the beginning of the 1970s.
Ancient methods of catching fish survived for a long time in Wales, especially in Monmouthshire. Commercial fishermen in this area used coracles, lave nets, stop nets and woven basket traps (known as putts and putchers) to make a living. These methods were an effective and efficient way of catching fish. Sadly only the lave net has survived into the 21st century.
