Re: Newbie question
I fish primarily for darters. I simply use two green aquarium fish nets.
One is a 4-6" wide one, the other a 2-4"one. In a shallow area, I hold
the larger one snug to the bottom. Witht he smaller one, I chase the fish
towards the larger net, moving it as needed. I'll move or kick rocks
around, whatever, to get them moving out in the open water where I can
catch them using this technique.
Often, I'll take the net from a seine, and use it as a bag, floating just
past a large set of rocks or something, a sort of U around them. Kicking
the rocks around, and combining it with the green nets. This usually
works well.
For more swimming fishes, I simply swoosh a green net thru areas of heavy
vegetation, or near a school. For fishes like sunfish, I use a fly, or a
bit of yarn tied on a hook. Guess that is a fly, sorta, but... :)
