Hand rigged spare leaders / wings for Fyke Nets. We use CN1 floats and No4 Leadline to make these leaders and wings. They can be attached to fyke nets that may have, for instance, suffered damage.
They can also be used to extend the length of already existing leaders and wings.
Spare leaders/wings can be used with all of our fyke nets.
We also offer a fitting service if required.
Instructions and help on using Fyke nets can be found on page 9 of the IFCA Fish Survey Best Practice guide Fish-survey-best-practice-guidance.pdf
Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or bespoke requirements.
A fyke net is a type of fish trap. It consists of a long cylindrical netting bag mounted on rings which contains a series of funnel-shaped openings. This makes it easy for fish to enter the trap but very difficult for them to make their way out.
Fyke nets are fitted with a leader which guides the fish towards the entrance of the bags.
Fyke nets are generally operated in shallow coastal waters, such as estuaries and sheltered bays. They are usually set in contact to the bottom. In areas with strong tidal currents and hauled or checked for catch on a daily basis.
The majority of our product sizes are given in metre and feet and inches. For your convenience, please find the metric to imperial conversion below.
