Product Information

The only problem with these trout nets is that they are difficult to unfold with one hand when you have one hand on your rod fighting a big fish. Otherwise, they are a great mid-length net that can extend to a longer net if needed. I’m not sure what you mean when you say “every guide I know carry their net with the handle down, and the net up, as shown in the picture (that says this is incorrect).” I agree with this and this is how I carry mine. it’s also how many competition anglers are now carrying there’s. Once you grab the net and pull it, you need to somehow get the handle in your hand. If you gab the net as low as possible which is at the top of the handle it’s not too bad to slide it down and grab it lower on the handle. In the end, I have shown anglers multiple well-researched methods (Research = 37 years carrying nets up and down rivers + fishing with many experts) for hanging their nets and you and they can choose which one works best. Therefore, if you are by yourself folding nets might not be the best option for a trout landing net. Competition Nets

The tiny mesh allows for all kinds of debris to be lifted up easily, and the material is soft enough not to damage fish if they manage to get caught. With that said, we do not recommend this type of net for catching pond fish, and it should just be used for skimming and cleaning purposes. The material is very fine and soft, and a struggling fish will easily break through with enough force. Choosing the Right Pond Net Pond nets are a great way to catch your fish or skim the water to clean debris. Public domain.

I use the Frabill Kwik-Stow Folding Trout Net when I’m guiding from my boat because it folds away nicely and has a long reach when I need it. The later video shows anglers using all three methods while the world champion hangs his net the same way I’ve been hanging mine for almost 10 years, however, all three methods work. Being rubber and not rope the elastic cord will prevent the net from ripping. Secure Your Fly Fishing Net Most anglers secure their nets with the handle up. This means the handle can be in the water at times. I don’t see any images that state that is incorrect, unless you mixed it up and you carry your net handle up and net down. You can see how World champion competition anglers rig their nets hoop up and hoo sideways at Euro nymphing with the fly fishing world champion!

Due to the slightly wider basket opening, we recommend this net if you have larger pond fish you need to retrieve, but still want something for cleaning on the side. The mesh holes are of a medium size, and will allow for good water skimming and collection for all but the finest of debris. It would be great for skimming leaves from the surface, and also for raking string algae and sludge from the liner. I hope I explained how to carry a fly fishing net or any type of wading net better. If you have any questions or tips that you use let us know in the comments section below.This elastic safety cord also allows me to let go of my net while taking pictures or when releasing my fish and my net won’t float away down the river.
