Bullfrog my mate is selling a gill net. It has a 12 inch mesh size, 5 meshes deep and 12 meshes long. Pm me if your interested.

Tidal wear only uses the dry fly method, anything else isn't purist enough for him. (He's a bit of a snob.)

If you want gill nets, advancednetting is good (google it), they sell finished up nets I believe. I might be able to do you something although I'm going to be away fairly soon for a while.

Mesh wise, it varies. I use 55mm mesh mostly in dreams when I'm fishing inland, monofilalament. Just do small rivers and lochs high up where the fish are not that big. Biggest I've caught was about half a pound, you'd get larger in waters with suitable sized fish.

In the sea, I use 120mm mesh, multi mono, that way the whole thing is legit. Caught pretty much everything in it from pollack of about a pound up to the large silvery fish that are traditionally smoked...

Of course, this is all a dream.

Nothing wrong with being a fishing purist

Oh of course there's nothing wrong, if I could get 30 big trout in half an hour with the dry fly like TW has do you think I'd use anything else?

OOOPS caught you out there mackem. The fish 3rd from the left second row on the first pic is the same fish 2nd from the left at the top on the second picture. Also i seem to remember that fish in the 3rd pic being 1 ounce i photo shopped it remember, of course we have to because rainbows are hard to catch.
