As Kent has states the dwg considers the size net that you buy (10ft and under) legal. I had one of their boys (yes he was just a kid) try and show me how to toss mine last fall. He made the point of saying if I caught any game fish by accident that I must release it unharmed *RIGHT NOW* and not a minute later would be too soon. Like I have trouble catching the bait fish LOL.
To help clear up the question as to what a seine is, here is the legal defintion:
A fishing net that hangs vertically in the water by means of weights at the lower edge.
That is according to the DWR. I thought a seine had floats at the top. Maybe that plastic ring is considered a float. At any rate they have helped me with mine and I'm sure if it was illegal they would have taken it and cited me. Hope this helps
