Fisherman’s Pail with Wire-Mesh Cage
Oftentimes the fisherman takes a pail along on a fishing excursion so that he may bring back his catch alive, to put it in a water tank, or to keep the fish fresh. The water in an ordinary pail soon becomes stale, and the fish may die before he reaches home. They should be kept in the water of the lake or stream until the fisherman goes home. A good means of caring for them, superior to the common string, is to make a wire-mesh container, to fit inside the water pail, as shown. The mesh form can be lifted out, carrying with it all of the fish in the pail, and be set in the fresh water.—Dale R. Van Horn, Milton, Wisconsin.
