With the lines fully secured to the stakes, everything including the fish is loaded on the sleds, and moved to the next hole, where the whole lifting process is begun again. The nets are fished in "gangs" which can vary from three nets to as many as twelve nets. Each "gang" of nets is set in a straight line, with a hole drilled in the ice at each end of each net.  With the length of each net measuring about four hundred feet, a "gang" can range from twelve hundred feet for a three-net set to almost a mile long using twelve nets.
