Check with Arizona Fish and Game but I feel certain that they are legal and there is a maximum I think it's a 3-ft net. But I see people casting them around here in Lake Havasu going after shad to fish for stripers.

Reading this string of posts only confirms "check the official rules publication for the state you plan to fish in. "

Here is a link to the AZ fishing regulations for 2023-2024.

Page 7 discusses capturing baitfish and crayfish for bait. It states you can use up to an eight foot diameter cast net. Seine nets can be 10 feet x 4 feet.

Just a thought… Not a good idea to use Washington regs for Arizona lakes.

That might be the case for gamefish Hayman but if you look at the links I provided earlier in this thread you will see that an eight foot diameter cast net is allowed for anyone with a fishing license to collect baitfish and crayfish for bait.

The AZ fishing regulations state 4' radius, 8' diameter. I provided the links earlier. Page 7 spells it out pretty clearly under Capturing Baitfish and Crayfish for Bait.
