You Bet,The nets are designed to catch whitefish,however you cant help it when the game Fish are caught aswell.by law every fish you catch in your nets you have to keep no matter how small or if it's still alive you cant throw it back.there is alot of times that my uncle has live pike and walleye in his nets that he wants to throw back but cant because its against the law and the F&W officers are at the lake when its commerical fished.
6 years ago the walleye qouta for Rattlesnake lake was caught after the first day,all the fisherman had to pull there nets and go home 4 days early,the obviously lost money at that lake because the walleye quoata was caught.furthere the alberta government didnt commercial fish that lake for 3 years after that one Fall.
