Ironman verdict
Big fishing net is a members item. Other players trade it, but an Ironman cannot use the Grand Exchange or trade, so you get your own. We list 1 monster, 6 shops and 1 other source for it.
The easiest way is to buy it: the cheapest of the shops that stock it is Harry's Fishing Shop in Catherby, at 20 coins each. If you would rather kill for it, the lowest-level monster that drops it is Hermit crab (level 19), at 2/128, about one in 64 kills. It also comes from Fishing spot (Civitas illa Fortis).
Shops stock it in 6 places, including Catherby, Fishing Guild, Port Piscarilius and Sunset Coast.
It is a material in 1 recipe: Fishbowl and net. High Alchemy (55 Magic) turns one into 12 coins. Each cast uses a nature rune, 180 coins from a rune shop, and five fire runes that a fire staff replaces, so an alch loses about 168 coins; only alch it to clear space.
