Yarn draw
The Garnzug 's Inland Fisheries also used today ancient term for the rarely practiced fishing with Zuggarnen that Zuggarnfischerei, a fishing technique with a long of yarns (hemp, cotton) knotted train network with a collection bag in the middle, in which collect the fish.
Fishing technique
The train network could be up to 180 m long and 30 m deep. It was usually cast in a circle with two boats by two to four fishermen and pulled through the lake on both of its wings by means of lower and upper lines. Pieces of cork or wood were attached to the upper edge of the nets as swimmers and pieces of lead attached to the lower edge so that the wings of the net floated as far as possible to the bottom like walls in the water. The nets were made by the fishermen themselves from hemp yarn until 1900. In addition, factory-run tensile yarn spinning mills were established in the 19th century that spun tensile yarns from cotton and mechanically linked them so that lighter nets could be made from them. The fishing work with these nets was physically strenuous, because when fishing the hemp or cotton nets were full of water and became very heavy. After fishing they had to be hung up and dried to avoid rot. Yarn fishing was only done in summer, the nets could not be dried in winter. In the 1950s, transparent nylon nets appeared. They are more practical, lighter and more transparent, they are no longer seen by the fish and are more catchable, and they no longer need to be dried. With them, the draft twine fishery lost its importance.
history
In the 16th to 19th centuries, the yarn train also denotes a certain size and breadth of water that was associated with yarn, i.e. H. could be fished with fishing nets. Yarn pulls were also divided into three classes according to the type of fish, and the rent for fishing was calculated and determined taking into account the abundance of fish and sales opportunities. From the number of twine pulls and from the twine pulls themselves, conclusions could be drawn about the size of the lake, the level of the fish yield and the fish quality. Overall, they indicated the fishing value of a body of water, mostly a lake. There were three classes.
- First class: Leads , moraines , Sander , eels , carp ;
- Second class: pike , perch , tench , catfish ;
- Third class: other edible fish .
The waters were divided into good, medium and bad according to the abundance of fish. Thus the highest rent had to be paid for a yarn train of a first class rich in fish.
