Blonde Girl Reveals Her Shell Necklace And Fishing Net On The Rocky Coast At The Sea

A special form of large hand net is the Lave net now used in very few locations on the River Severn in England and Wales. The Lave net is set in the water and the fisherman waits till he feels a fish hit against the mesh and the net is then lifted. Fish as large as Sturgeon have been caught in Lave nets.
• Cast net
Cast nets are small round nets with weights on the edges which is thrown by the fisher. Sizes vary up to about four metres in diameter. The net is thrown by hand in such a manner that it spreads out on the water and sinks. Fish are caught as the net is hauled back in.
