Thanks for posting the photos. Didn't you catch a bunch of chubs at Scofield last fall too? Do you know if anyone has gone up there recently to catch some chubs?
I recently started learning to throw a cast net. Wanted to make my own, so I got some bonded #4 twine, made a couple of netting needles and started in on one with 3/4 inch mesh. Found lots of helpful videos on youtube. So far I have woven 4 feet (radius) of stretched net. I figure I need to get 2 more feet to finish so I have a 5 foot radius net (flat). Altogether I will have tied more than 21,000 net knots.
When I am done it will be a very nice cast net that will last for years. I am working on another one that has 1 inch mesh. Anyhow a fun project!
