Since you mentioned the umbrella net in your email. I would assume no.

ok ewurm, you saying it's safe right? since they would of said "umbrella nets are not allowed"

well i looked up google images for a throw net and only casting nets came out. i still have no clue what a gill net is though.

i wouldnt try after hearing that e mail.
i can get away with it cus i can use a net for other things.
sounds like you cant even use a net for those.

i think a gill net in a seine net?

Gill nets and Seine nets work differently. Seine nets works by coralling fish. Gill nets on the other hands work by ensnaring/trapping fish by the gills when they try to go through the net, thus the term gill nets.

No, I don't think you can use any net to take gamefish.
