Beautiful!!! If I might ask a couple of questions, one where do you get the netting material and how do you attach it ? This is something I'd like to try for a build. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Steve - There is a groove along the outide of the hoop, and holes are drilled in the groove every inch or so, through the hoop. The net bag is placed inside the hoop and bonded nylon line is used to lace the net bag to the hoop. The groove is intended to keep the nylon line from standing proud of the the frame and abrading; it's really a carry over from the days of cotton line, and not absolutely neccesary. I'm on vacation this week, so I will post some pics later. The net bags are available from http://www.lokinets.com. Thanks again - Alec

Thanks Alec, I look forward to your post and hope your having a good vacation. (Hope it's fishing) I happen to live in the middle of the some of the best fly fishing waters in CA and carrying a beautiful net like you made would be just icing on the cake. Steve
