Netting a long stream follows a similar method to netting a large pond, but with adjustments tailored to the narrower width. Here’s how you can approach it:
Set Up Fence Posts:
- Install sturdy fence posts along the length of the stream at regular intervals.
- For additional support, include intermediate stakes or supports between the primary fence posts.
Secure a Paracord Support Line:
- Run a paracord or a similar support line between two stakes or posts, ensuring it is taut and positioned above the stream.
Drape and Adjust the Netting:
- Use appropriately sized bulk netting, typically 10- to 20-foot-wide (3 to 6 meters) rolls, depending on the stream's width.
- Drape the netting over the paracord, allowing it to cover the stream evenly.
Anchor the Netting:
- Secure the edges of the netting to the ground using stakes or weights to prevent it from shifting or lifting.
This method provides stability and ensures effective coverage without requiring overly wide netting, making it a practical solution for narrower streams.
