This net may be fitted into any kind of handle, but a handle 

 which is the invention of Messrs. F. T. Williams and Co., 10, 



COLLAPSING V SHAPED NET. 



Great Queen Street, W.C., makes, in combination with Messrs. 

 Hardy's V shaped net, a most perfect and admirable weapon, as 

 I can testify, having repeatedly had practical experience of its 

 many excellencies. The flat shape of the net support at the top 

 admits of its being more readily suspended under the fisher's 

 left arm, or behind the elbow the positions in which I have 

 usually carried it myself. I may say, however, that an excellent 

 practical angler writes to me that he finds greater comfort and 

 security in suspending the net by a somewhat shorter strap, so 

 that it hangs nearly against the middle of the back, just below the 

 shoulders.
