Default Nets

I saw 1st hand the destruction nets can do, a nylon net dont need mesh size to work, the big fish will roll up, the small will "gil", They should never be used, if the buoys lost the nets will continue to fish for years, fish get caught, rot,fish again,diveing ducks are caught,musk rats, beaver,etc---should be a total ban.
If no way around a commercial fishery, maybe baited trawls are the way to go, at lease the unwanted species can be released.---------As an ex newfie commercial fisherman who took part in the destruction of one of the greatest resources on the planet-- nets in freshwater lakes is the ultimate stupidity.
