The keepnet question is really the thin end of the wedge.
If we, as anglers, begin to think that keepnets are a 'bad thing' then how can you, properly argue, that we can continue to catch and release our quarry?
Think about it.
Then it is not a quantum leap to the situation thatthey have in Germany and Switzerland.
Think long and hard!
In my opinion a properly sited and well staked out keepnet, not retaining fish for too long, is no problem at all.
