I saw this on an old flipper movie, "The New Adventures of Flipper" where Bud was on an island with Flipper and some ladies were stranded and bud was helping them. He taught the youngest girl how to weave a fish trap basket using Palmetto leaves. It was really great! You could see into the trap because the way it was woven there were large holes. It was very sturdy and very strong. It was somewhat heart shaped and where the two curved top parts of the heart came together was the entrance for the fish. They couldn't get out because of the wall constructions. On the top of the trap was a door that allowed access to your catch. Does anyone know where I can find information on how to do this sort of weaving with Palmetto? J
