How to make Willow 'Fish on a stick' with Hanna from Willowtwisters

In this video, Hanna shows you how to make a willow fish on a stick using willow withies. To make these fish Hanna used some left over 4 foot brown willow withies but you can use slightly smaller (3 foot)
Please note that before you can work with this type of willow, you will need to soak it for a set amount of days usually one day per foot of rod length and therefore needs a little fore planning. Soaking the willow makes it nice and flexible to work with. Try soaking the willow in a soaking bag, or in the bath (please be aware that tannins in the willow bark may stain your bath) or a makeshift outdoor pond/pool or trough (if you have one that is!)
