They caught large numbers of fish, reducing the numbers caught up-river. Rows of stakes (poles) were set into the part-tidal land, linked by ropes and nets attached, to form labyrinths. In the mid 19th century, the fishery was also dealing with herring, mackerel and cod. Conflict over the Solway stake-nets features in Sir Walter Scott's novel Redgauntlet.
