I just need to a picture with a perch in it, hopefully by the end of next week this will have been achieved.

Crabtree Style Net
Earlier this year I managed to purchase a small 11" wide 1960's cane landing net off eBay for £15. Well this week I finally managed to take it to bits and varnish the cane rim and polish up the connector. I have had the 4' handle lying around in my shed for years, I new it would come in handy one day, so this was varnished and polished up to suit. The net I also had rolled up in a draw for such an occasion.
I just need to a picture with a perch in it, hopefully by the end of next week this will have been achieved.

That looks super, Sir ... and could only look better with that perch you mention.

Very nice Mark
