I am considering whether or not to use a keepnet for roach fishing? I have not used one for many, many years and would appreciate your input: my main reason is - does using a keepnet stop returned roach from up setting the rest of the shoal?
Pros/ does using a keepnet stop a returned roach from scaring off the other roach?
Does using a keepnet stop pike from attacking returned roach? Useful for temporarily retaining a roach while setting up camera? No need to get up and return roach in another swim?
Cons/ disturbs swim? Taking home wet smelly net? Deters angler from moving swims? Harms roach? Definitely not to be used in hot weather or for barbel or carp.
Maybe I should just carry on not using one? Your thoughts?
