Then a socialist government comes along and says to the netmaker with three fish: that's not fair. We're having your extra fish and sharing them among everyone else..
The netmaker thinks *why did I bother?*, gives up netmaking, and everyone goes back to one fish per day.
Successful trouting in Beadnell, where the harbour is now almost empty of boats
A fascinating morning of talking about sand eels, netmaking, eider ducks, sea trout, salmon, the Fury fight, and lobsters
This may look like a chaotic mess, but to the initiated it's the basic packing for two days teaching, this time a day's netmaking and a day of coiled and looped baskets using lime bast. I do love checking off a to-do list that includes the phrase 'don't forget the plastic fish!'
Yeah, I'm crazy. I should just buy the plastic stuff and not worry about trying to disentangle vines.
A proper wire trellis would be nice, but costs money, so ... :P
Plus netmaking is actually peaceful.
This is where crafts and hobbies can help. Knitting, crochet, netmaking and weaving all mean the hands move in different ways to help Jeep things flexible.
Use it or lose it as the popular mantra goes - but don't give yourself RSI trying to be as flexible as you were at 15.

Fishing/landing nets work well too, and possibly easier to find (or score secondhand) depending on where to are. Worth trying local swap/gumtree wanted too.
Or you could learn netmaking (which is rather relaxing). *evil grin*

An #ArchiveOccupation for the nimble-fingered, a net-maker 🐟

Archaeologists and craftsperson here. Same goes for pottery woodwork blacksmithing leatherworking spinning weaving knitting nalbinding netmaking, basketmaking, bark-and rootscrafts for starters. Quality of crafts is grossly underestimated by the theory infused, backprojecting.
Net making tools sit on the window sill of Annie Turner’s studio. She picked up this old book and pointed out the title ‘Netmaking for Seamen Yachtsmen Boy Scouts and Others’ ...Others! Sigh. See how nets inform her brilliant sculpture
