Its cold here and trying to keep my mind occupied while waiting for ice off....

Last season I found some limitations with my new net. I found it challenging at times to set it up properly (net pulled tight). So, I added an outside frame that stretches and holds the net open. Kind of a hybrid of a fyke and box net. This should make setting and retrieving the net a whole lot easier. Once the season is over, the outside frame is removed and the trap is collapsed for storage.

In case anybody is interested, here are some pics.
