SCIENCE OF FISHING. 



A set net is knit in a tapering cylindrical form, closed 

 at the small end, and a funnel knitted in the large end, so 

 that the fish are guided into the net through the small throat 

 of the funnel. If the net is a large one two funnels may be 

 made in it. Sometimes there are wings running out from 

 the mouth. It is kept in shape by means of hoops, and is set 

 by sinking to the bed of the stream, the wings and tail 

 fastened to stakes. Sometimes the net is baited, but in small 

 streams when fish are moving it is not.
