Approximated locations!
      Nets can and will be moved, use this as a guideline ONLY!
Manistee nets are well marked and visible for about 1/3 mile away, if it's clear. 
Leads on trap nets can be 2500' long, or about a 1/2 mile.
      If you do get your gear tangled in a net,  cut all lines immediately.
The life you save, might be your own. Stay clear, stay safe!
