| Summary: | fish n pp.315-9 [heading] Fish-Traps p. 316 [salmon nets arranged as a trap] 'In some modified forms there is only a single enclosure, and as an illustration of this we may take the stake-net. It consists of a long line of netting fastened to stakes driven into the shore between tide-marks; this is called the 'leader.' p. 320. In the west of England the form of trap in universal use is the flattened hemispherical contrivance made of basket-work, commonly known as a 'pot'. [The lobster trap fashioned from thin strips of wood, and used elsewhere in Britiain, is known as the 'creel'. Looks like Nflders gave the west country name 'pot' to the contrivance constructed as elsewhere in Britain]. see cited quotation Jan 77 g. file for info and background possible citation in head-notes Used I and Sup Not used Not used
