How do you get them into the net?

I usually use a scooping motion, but sometimes, if they are dropbacks, I let them swim into the net themselves. The net must be in the water, open hoop facing in the direction of the fish.

If the fish are swimming "upstream", sometimes I scoop them using a "frontal" attack, somtimes I use a "rear" attack.

If the fish are "dropping back", I usually let them swim into the net without causing to much commotion, so they wont be scared and swim upstream again.
