In its simplest form the net consists of a ring, or hoop, firmly attached to a handle two or three feet in length. Attached to the hoop is a net about eighteen inches in depth. A very serviceable net may be constructed by bending a stout wire into a circle (Fig. 467), then bending the ends back at right angles and lashing them.
