Ok I have to know ! set ,scoop ,sock , and if you want to show us a photo of past catches that would .. Well wet our appetite!
Bloke on the Buller said to soak you new white net in a bucket of tea... Improves the catch rate he reckoned.
@stingray, it is a set net, and I made some side wings with fine mesh to go with the net; I find the scoop nets too awkward to handle..do not have any fotos...I think the soaking in tea would be a good idea...subdue the white of the net...
Discount fishing supplies have good prices on replacement netting & the good English type too.
Put the net in the river and it doesn't stay white for long.Quote:
