fish trap

Step 7 Attaching said door

Uses a coil of thick wire to attach the door. twist the coil of wire through the mesh on the top of the door and the top of the opening. If you look at a composition notebook that has the wire coil then you can see and example. Then uses two little loops of wire to secure the two sides of the door hinge.

i would be easier to use hardware cloth that you can buy at most any hardware store...I know that home depot carries it & so does Lowes.

It comes in different sizes(hole sizes & sheet/roll sizes) and all you need to cut it is a pair of tin snips.

You can use plastic wire ties to bind it all together or you can buy special clips....
follow the directions on this instructable, and you will have a trap that will last YEARS....

im confused? how do you cut the hole ont the side to get out the minnows

simply cut out a square in the mesh any size but not to big or to small. a 2" by 2" square should do if you are catching small fish. look at the pictures in the make.
