Patterns

The patterns for the 52 Great Lakes fish species used in the FishNet project are listed below. The fish are sized to full scale, some are 6 inches long, others are close to 48 inches. The patterns are based on using cut fabric which is then sewn and stuffed but you can make the fish out of other materials such as paper and they can be 2-dimensional or fully formed.
