Old travel Blog photograph of a woman salmon fishing in the River Dee at Mossdale, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. The River Dee, Scottish Gaelic: Dè / Uisge Dhè, flows from its source in Loch Dee amongst the Galloway Hills, firstly to Clatteringshaws Loch, then into Loch Ken, where it joins the Water of Ken. From there, the Dee flows 15 miles southwards to Kirkcudbright, and into Kirkcudbright Bay to reach the Solway. Historically the Dee had a good reputation as a productive salmon fishery. Commercial fishing in the river took many forms, with doachs, ladle nets, shoulder nets and draught nets all having been used at various times.
