You don't take passes with fyke nets... They are stationary, sitting in one place. The fish swim into them on their own. Fyke nets are HIGHLY efficient at capturing almost all species of fish. In a smaller pond, they are highly efficient at removing fish.
I am not saying there is a right way or a wrong way. However, the use of a fyke net is very controllable and the outcome usually consistent. The use of NP or TM is not nearly as controllable and the outcome not nearly as consistent. Check out the link I posted reference the use of fyke net by Chris Steelman and tell me they aren't efficient at capturing 3"-4" stunted fish, whether they be GSF or crappie.
However, fyke nets are not cheap. But once you have one, it can be used for years. It can also be used as a great tool to do annual surveys on your pond to see how your fish are doing.
