I sit on a 1500 acre lake. I have two nets that I keep at home, not in my pack. If needed I could simply drop them in and do whatever I need to do while they are fishing for me. There are no leaves or snakes or bears or otters to worry about. You're searching for reasons to downplay the net and that's fine if you don't want to use one but not everyone is in your local. There are places and environments where they work just fine. They wouldn't be outlawed for game fishing if they were not effective. While you are sitting on the bank catching one fish I'll be at home making potable water (or whatever needs done) while my nets catch multiple fish.
