Firstly, thanks a lot for the awesome tutorial :)

Now obviously the answer will depend on the mesh size but do you know how long a length of paracord would be required to make a general purpose fishing net? The figures will no doubt vary a LOT but a general minimum idea would be useful.

Thanks :)

Firstly how long and how deep? Say for example you wanted to make a net 7 meters long then you 'd cut the paracord at 7 meters then when you pulled out the innerds you could have 25 strands 2 meters long you would then need 35 more 2 meter lengths of cord to have enough innerds to tie your knots at three inches. Though I would suggest leaving the cord in longer lengths to use later and just pull out the innerds. This would give you a net 7 meters in length and about 1/2 meter in depth once tied. I hope this helps with your calculations for your net size.
