River Cane Fish Trap

<< < (4/5) > >>

Jodocus:
very, very nice.

PrimitiveTim:
Well, I'm really interested to see what you caught!  that thing looks awesome!

H Rhodes:
Nice work.  We used to bait them with cotton seed meal cakes or rotten cheese.  They will work fine in  flowing streams if you put the funnel facing down stream.  Fish in current usually hold facing into the current.   Here the law will let you use them but you have to buy a basket license and you have to release any game fish that you catch.  I think baskets work better in the spring.  You should be able to catch you a mess of catfish with that one.  :)   

TRACY:
I'm impressed with all the things that can be made by cane! Very nice work DK! Seems like hanging meat will bring some catfish if I were using it. Nice.

I made one of these out of willow and it was a lot of work.  No doubt it was a lot of work for you as we'll.  I had to put a weight in mine to keep it down.  I  expect you will need one too. Cane is buoyant.  Nice work.
