Susquehanna Dip Net

[asemery]

Back in ther Fall of 2010 I got an e-mail from a gentleman who had seen the netting I had done for a historical group. He has a similar antique frame and needed netting. The net was once used in the Susquehanna river for the annual shad spawning run. He caled attention to the incident mentioned in this link describing the dip net.
http://www.bluerockheritage.com/Shad.htm. The opening of the frame is 53" x 33".

I made the netting from 6 ply linen thread (38 lb breaking strength). 1" wide gauage. 30 meshes at bottom, 110 meshes at top. bottom 4 rows are double twine. The top 3 rows are double as well using 1 1/4" gauge. Overall length not on frame - 47".

Here is the photo of trhe net on the frame he sent me. Small eye hooks on the inside of the frame allow for the hanging of the netting. Tony
