Yeah, I think I will dye the bags dark green. That's what I did with the
one I'm using. I've noticed that fish in an aquarium will often dive into
the dark green aquarium nets, while fleeing from the ones with white
netting.
As far as replacing the monorail bag, you have to rotate the entire bag in
the hoop. Though the hoop is about square, you can think of it as a big
circle. So if you rotate the entire bag once, while holding the hoop
stationary relative to the bag, the entire periphery of the bag will have
slid out the open end of the hoop. This, of course can only happen if the
hoop is detached from the handle or yoke, depending on your net design. So
you're just working the periphery of the bag through the rail by pushing
one side and pulling the other. As the netting comes out the one end, you
have to let that free end rotate around the hoop following the end that's
still retained inside the hoop. I know I need to come up with a beter way
to describe this. Maybe I should take a series of photos illustrating the
process. Or I can show you at the convention in August. Yes, I have
actually done it!
