I got my daily (or thrice daily) email from Major surplus.
US FISH NET (https://majorsurplus.com/u-s-fish-net.html?smclient=f132b7c7-421b-11ec-b169-2841c6acdb70&utm_source=salesmanago&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=default) and I got to thinking how useful would these be? Has anyone ever used these particular nets? I know netfishing works but I often seem used in Asian countries to catch smaller fish and have a much fiber mesh than this.
Would the be worth investing in?
Also sorry I was going to post in bargains but my question was more focused around the usefulness if said net. So mods feel free to move

I would say those are for cammo or decoration and not for fishing. I think they would be terrible for fishing since the fish can see them. Unless you're going to block a fast flowing stream where the water flow drives them into the net and holds them there until you pull it out. Or string it between two crossed poles for an 'area' dip net.

Get a monofilament cast net for fishing.

That's kinda what I was thinking it's either for a dip net or across a stream net. That's what I was trying to clarify. We have lots of streams around my area and even a lake that's a few blocks away.
I hadn't thought of a camo net. I mean I suppose it could be? But not very practical
is it kosher to net freshwater gamefish in your AO?
What type of fish are in your streams?
In my AO its not legal to net freshwater gamefish, only baitfish and non indigenous.
After watching the last four seasons of Alone and their terrible luck with fishing, you likely would do better with one of these:

Which you can make from that material you posted.
Caveat: Never used one, basing my advice on watching a TV show about people harvesting fish to survive.
