Hey guys.
Just wanting to pick all your brains for ideas of how to best clean up my landing net that got completely ditched the last time i was out.
The lake i was fishing was quite scummy - but the real issue was all the mass of fluffy seeds floating about on the surface. These seeds were getting tangled up in my line for a past time which was a proper nuisance - but the problem i'm having is trying to clean off my landing net that has become clogged up with these seeds.
I've tried soaking it - rinsing it - hanging it out, but they will not clean off!
Q1- Any ideas what these seeds are from? It was May/June time when this happened. Thouht it might be from rushes - can't say i spotted that many rushes plants though. The only other possibility is that the lake was surrounded by willow trees - i just didn't think the catkins from willows would have this sort of effect.
Q2 - How else do you suggest i try to clean off my net? It has improved slightly after the several different attempts - but there is still a fair amount still wrapped around all the net material.
Any input would be gratefully received.
Cheers then.
