FLEW NET. 17 



should be made of very fine twine, or the fish will 

 not entangle themselves so well; silk is better 

 than twine : in fact, the lint cannot well be too 

 flimsy and fine, if it be strong ; it should contain 

 twice the number of square feet as the frame of 

 the flew, in order that the fish may bag themselves 

 when they force it through the wall (as it is called) 

 of the flew. The wall is that part of the net which 

 faces the " lint " on both sides, and should be 

 made of coarse twine in squares or large meshes 

 of about five or six inches ; the wall to be of the 

 same size as the frame of the flew, in quantity 

 half as much as the lint. The meshes of the lint 

 should be two inches in diameter. Set the net as 

 loose as you well can.
