Simple traps can be made from hazel and many other similar saplings.

Patrick, something that has always interested me about fish traps is their varying designs and shapes. is it purely local variation, or is each trap suitable for specific species of fish???

Cool work as usual...
 
I love the way that it looks like they have been brought from the past, not a hint of nylon or other modern alternatives used......


....You don't own a time machine do you?!!
 
Aww....I wish you'd stop this.... :) ....wonderful stuff..... :You_Rock_
Then I think...which knots for each different part?...are they made green or seasoned?.....do you work from the middle outwards?.......how do you achieve symmetry?..........do you make some kind of jig to help the process? Nuff said...I'm off for a lie down bushwacked just thinking about it....fantastic work.. :)
