Um sorry, 4Salt, but scientifically speaking, gillnets are one of the *MOST* selective fishery techniques being used today.

It just so happens that most net mesh sizes just happen to be right around the average size of the fish in the river.....killing any and everything close to that average size! I don't think mesh size is regulated...so it's all a mute point anyways.

I've got an entire book on just the "selectivity" aspect of fisheries techniques. I knew it'd come in handy one of these days! wink
