Any Net Makers Out There????

Looking for support/services regarding restoration of high end 1970s trout nets, perhaps modern but respectfully accurate reproduction of earlier cotton "Funnel" shaped profiles, PM me with your contact information, Thanks!!! Todd

I recommend Cedar Nets that are finely crafted here in Canada. These nets are made with a variety of styles with fine hardwoods and they are as handsome as they are practical.

Hello Todd -
...just to clarify...
are you referring to the net frame, or net bag, or both???

[henkverhaar]

Methinks he's referring to the net bag.

I have book on how to knot nets. And I have tried repeatedly to get the hang of it (couple years ago) but gave up... Now net frames are easy when compared to bags. ;-)

[tunafart]

Methinks you're right . . .

[hopkintoncane]

Yeah, sorry if I was not clear, trying to either repair the bags or replace with faithful new ones, preferrably the traditional open cotton style.

LDH nets. Look them up online. I bet Lloyd could help you. I have a number of his nets and he is fabulous to work with. Best, Chris

Another vote for LDH. Lloyd is great to work with and he is all about tradition.

I recently saw on YouTube on the Restore & Repair channel how such traps were restored there, very interesting. Therefore, I am inclined more towards the opinion scarlet> fire, as it seems I there in the comments met a mention of it
