I would like to raise the issue of using keepnets & whether it is an acceptable practice these days. I havent used one for many many years as have been concentrating on Carp fising.
When i last fish the river the keepnet was very much part of most anglers armour.
I am sensing there maybe a split on this, so i am keen to get feedback from both sides so i can make my own decision. I wont lie, my initial feelings are the benefits of using a keepnet are of not returning fish in the swim, the enjoyment of "mini matches" between friends and general satisfaction of seeing whats been caught at end of day, however if completely frowned upon these days, i of course will take this on board.
I would also like to ask someone to confirm my current nets are suitable http://www.bosstackleonline.co.uk/acatalog/Nets.html#aRBK1 and if possible update my knowledge on the correct/safest way to utilise one (do's & dont's would be very helpful).
