I would greatly appreciate that, and info on how to make the netting,
too if someone is doing that.

For some info on netting, both clothing and I believe fishing, you  
might want to try this file in the ACCESSORIES section of the  
Florilegium:
netting-msg       (11K)  8/12/97    Netting for hairnets, snoods,  
fishnets,
                                        hammocks.

If you, or anyone you know, is interested in researching and writing  
an article on medieval fishing nets, I'd love to have an article on  
this. Like most folks I only know a little bit about modern fishing  
nets, much less medieval ones.
