Netwerkrekken

Netwerkrekken, also known as network fishing or net fishing, is a traditional fishing technique that involves using a net to catch fish. This method is particularly popular in freshwater environments such as rivers, lakes, and ponds. The net is typically made of a fine mesh to allow water to pass through while retaining the fish. Netwerkrekken can be performed using various types of nets, including cast nets, dip nets, and seine nets, each suited to different fishing conditions and target species.

The process of netwerkrekken begins with the selection of an appropriate location, often where fish are known to congregate or where the water is shallow and clear. The angler or fisher then casts the net into the water, allowing it to drift with the current or is anchored in place. The net is then slowly pulled back, allowing the fish to become entangled in the mesh. Once the net is full, it is retrieved, and the fish are carefully removed and counted.

Netwerkrekken is a popular recreational activity and is often used for sport fishing. It can also be an effective method for commercial fishing, particularly for species that are abundant and easy to catch. However, it is important to follow local regulations and guidelines to ensure sustainable fishing practices and to protect the environment. Netwerkrekken requires some skill and practice to master, but it can be a rewarding experience for those who enjoy fishing.
