Yes, the Great Feeder, there are some older posts of mine since I bring this up every year 
True, you can only have 25 whitefish, but 25 per person for the guy with his 3 sons there can be a pretty good haul. As the dry bed dries up and the water starts to get low on oxygen the fish start dying anyways. Most of the whitefish get thrown on the bank to die so the trout have a better chance. A few people take some of the bigger whitefish to eat (including me, but I've never hit 25 big ones and I don't really use minnows).
You can also Snag or wade in with a big dip net.
On General throw net rules, you can probably use one anywhere there are suckers/carp or perch. Any game fish have to be released of course, and I don't know how useful it would be. I can't really imagine rowing a boat around Roberts trying to catch perch (although you can also use traps like crawdad traps for perch and keep them so that might work in Roberts if you can find a bait they like).
