| Summary: | trap 1 n A wall of net called the "leader", anchored at the bottom and held up by cork floats, extends from some rocky point to a square or diamond shaped trap of nets which is held in place in the same way. The fish coming in contact with the "leader" at once turn to swim into deep water, but instead of that find themselves in the trap, from which they are too stupid or frightened to escape.
