I hope this will help,there are so many ways to throw them but the easiest way I have found if it is 6ft radius or less and you are right handed, put the loop around your left hand let the rest of the rope lay in front of you, being sure not to step on it or tangled in debrie on the ground you can also hold the line but it gets to be a hand full...hold the yellow collar up in front of you with your left hand making sure the net is free falling and the lead skirt is not tangled ,put your right hand out palm up and your thumb pointing away from your body,pull net up half way up your right hand and grasp let the yellow collar drop from your left hand. Then reach strait down in front of you with your left hand and pull the lead collar up and pinch it with your right thumb while still holding the net, reach behind or to the right of the skirt as far down as you can with you left hand and toss like a frisbee letting go of the entire net this is the hard part for the harder you fling it the wider it spread ..Picture a womans skirt the faster she twirls the wider her dress goes I like that thought anyway. I hope this helps ,I could show you in two minutes it's hard to explain. And here's a couple things I' learned over the years: don't throw agianst the wind :don't target small fry unless you have a net smaller in diameter than1\4 inch for it will act like a gill net and you won't like getting them out promice: and last but not least if you get small catfish around 3 or 4 inches in your net don't try to get them out ,with wire cutters clip there pectarial and dorsal fins off to release...this sound cruel but willsave yourself a painful encounter..sorry for the long post hope it helps ,Chuck..
