Contrary to many misconceptions, gill nets cannot be used as seines. But then, they're not as labor intensive as seines are either. A gill net can easily be fished by one person, but can easily catch more fish than that person can eat.
These nets are very popular in some parts of the country for catching yellow catfish also known as yellow cat, mud cat, shovelhead cat, johnnie cat, goujon, appaluchion, opelousas or flathead cat. Gill nets are also very popular in the New England area for catching menhadden, bunker or shad for bait for large predator fish such as tuna or yellow catfish.
It is advisable to check with your local game laws because there are often limitations on the use of gill nets and other fishing devices.
By the way, we measure one of the four sides of the square mesh when we describe the size of the mesh (that is from knot to knot). If you want to convert to stretched mesh sizes - multiply by 2. In other words, 2 inch square mesh is also described as 4 inch stretched mesh.
We basically have two types of nets and each come in multifilament (nylon) or monofilament.
These are:
Nylon Flag-style Gillnets A very effective net in still water!
Monofilament Flag-style Gillnets To be used in clear, still water - less tangles
Nylon Tie-Down Gillnets Most effective net for flowing water
Monofilament Tie-down Gillnets For clear, flowing water - less tangles
Nylon Tie-down H-D Gar nets Especially for Garfish or large buffalo fish or carp
Decorative nettingGreat for establishing a marine/outdoors theme!
Nylon Flag-Style Gill NetsFlag style Gill Nets have a top line and no bottom line. This makes the flag style gill net the simplest form of gill type nets but it is also the most effective BUT it can only be used in still water and the top line must be attached on each end so the net is stretched across the body of water. Really great for ponds or lakes1

Nylon Tie-Down Gill Nets
Tie-down Gill Nets are designed to be fished in flowing water. They are designed with a float line at the top and a lead line at the bottom.(We use a foam-filled float line rather than a line with cork or plastic floats because the floats tangle in the net so easily. The floatline or sinker line won't do that. Happy Fishing!) There are strings running from the float line down to the lead line at the bottom. These strings on the following 8' nets are 8' long but the netting hanging from the float line is 10' long. This gives the netting slack to wrap up any fish that hits it. Not quite as effective in catching fish as the flag style gill nets but the least expensive way to use a net in flowing water.

Leaded H-D Gill Nets are designed to be fished in flowing water. They are designed with a float line at the top and a lead line at the bottom. The netting is made up of #15 twisted nylon which is heavy enough for most large freshwater fish and a good number of saltwater fish. (Large fish should be boated with a gaff or dipnet to eliminate damage to the gillnet.) Not quite as effective in catching fish as the flag style gill nets but the least expensive way to use a net in flowing water.
