The illegal fishing was all recorded in detailed ledgers and led to the loss of an estimated 686,534 salmon eggs and more than two million sea trout eggs.
Rees, who had previously pleaded guilty to illegal fishing charges brought forward by Natural Resources Wales , will also have his fishing and netting equipment seized from him.
While monitoring the area overnight, a person wearing dark clothing was seen retrieving the net at 5am. Although he fled the scene by jumping into the river, he was later arrested and his home was searched.She added:"The sheer scale of the number of fish caught has undoubtedly resulted in a significant and unsustainable loss of breeding potential.
"This case should stand as a warning to would-be offenders that we will pursue every case where there is evidence of wrongdoing, and if we can demonstrate that a significant financial gain has been made, we will look to confiscate that gain."
