• Tangled: Captured by teeth, spines, or fins without penetrating the mesh
• Pulled along the shoreline as a seine to gather a group of fish
  

To utilise a gill net, suspend it between 2 anchor points, allowing it to hang vertically in the water. The net need not necessarily break the water's surface and can be deployed across streams, ponds, or lakes.

Additionally, the net can be repurposed for trapping rabbits and other small game.
