This article is from the Beginning Fishkeeping FAQ, by Thomas Narten with numerous contributions by others.

19 Equipment: Nets

You will need at least one fish net, and having two is better;
catching fish is easier if you use one net to chase fish into the
other. Nets with a fine mesh are harder to use because of their high
water resistance. The right net size will of course depend on the size
of your fish.

Note: netting fish is stressful. In particular, the fish net scrapes
off some of a fish's protective slime coating. If possible, when
catching fish, use a net to chase the fish into a small plastic or
glass jar.
