Usual rule is do not put fish in a keep net over 2lb.

Some keepnets are larger and aimed at the comercial carp men and fish up to 5lb can be kept.

Some places ask for two keepnets, one for silver fish and one for carp.

Some places limit the weight of fish to be kept in a keepnet, ie. 50lb of fish.

Commonscence should prevail.

Some places ban keepnets.
