Re: For Bill, net making
You can still flyfish for panfish Bill! I only fished once for Kokanee, didn't catch any.
I started a 'guide net' form but never got back to it, larger hoop and longer handle. I suppose it could also serve as a boat net.

Ok Bill here you for you. I watched a couple videos about steam bending wood for fish nets. Figured it was easy enough and made a steam box.
