Larry Haycraft Fishing Hoop Nets

Petersburg, IN  |  Fishing Hoop Nets  |  Website

As a fourth generation hoop fishing net maker, Larry Haycraft has a seemingly encyclopedic knowledge of life on the river. He says fish net making, in general, is “the oldest craft known to man.” Larry hooks the end of a piece of twine on something strong so he can pull hard when making the hundreds— sometimes thousands—of knots required for each net. It can take up to two weeks of continuous work to complete a single net.
