Not at all Shaun, I appreciate your advice
Like all of us on here, I care very much about my quarry and wish them no harm
If anybody can help with sourcing a suitable mesh, I will be greatful for any advise where I can buy one, although I would like one which I will still show the split cane arms through
I got around the problem By using a modern soft micromesh, cutting off the sleeves and threading cord around the arms secured on the net.
Have a look at cane carp landing net in the other tackle DIY thread, there's a couple of pics

Certainly much kinder to the fish and doesn't look out of place in my mind.

After some comments and advise received to my original post, I have modified my net frame with a new smaller, softer fish friendly net mesh, and it shows the cane arms through the green mesh nicely
hope you like
