Hammer Net
Pennsylvania Dutch design. The operator of the net would stand in a river or stream. A helper upstream would hit the river bank with a large mallet or hammer (hence the name). The fish would be scared towards the net operator who would lift the net. The fish would drop into the sleeve and would be retreived through a drawstring at the bottom of the sleeve. Tony
