Wolfie what fish are you wanting to net? Well it's varying ,anything from bait sized sunfish to carp honestly. Really I'm trying to get a good general grasp on what all the different mono netting is so j can tailor stuff to what I need. Like I have a good grasp on time sizes but that's just because I've bought so much twine and netting . Mono netting is just kinda a new thing for me

^^^^^ That looks like fun, except I don't know if I'd want to be tending 35 set nets. Do you hand pull or use a power roller? What do they use those paddle fish for, seems like I've heard they aren't too good to eat.

Is that fishery open to new entrants or is it a limited or closed entry fishery? Do you sell the entire fish or you semi process them and just sell the roe? I'm curious what the typical prices per pound, either the fish or the roe..

^^^^^ I've never done that before but I suppose it depends on how clean and snag free your bottom is. If it's snaggy I'd put the cut selvedge on the bottom so if you do snagged it will tear lose easily rather than destroy your entire net, or you can just hang a lead line with light hanging twine. They also make what's called river leadline they use it on the Columbia river, it has a light breaking strength

^^^^^^ That makes for a very "fishy" net. They used to use them (maybe still do) on the Columbia river. All that extra web will catch a lot of larger fish that otherwise would not "gill" in mesh that is too small for them. As I recall a string was tied on the hanging on every-other cork, then laced through the meshes down to the leadline where it was tied off after pulling it up to the desired depth.
