FishPond Nomad Native Fly Fishing Landing Net Carbon Fiber and Fiber Glass

Product Information

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. The right-sized trout net will be small enough to be easily carried and will be light enough and capable of being attached to your body without weighing you down, but it will still be big enough to handle the largest trout in the river you are fishing. Hanging the net off a magnetic net release like the Orvis Magnetic Net Release is a good way to make it easy to grab your net when fighting a fish but most anglers use it the right way, and not the best way. A good all-round pond net choice for cleaning, skimming, and retrieving fish. Tetra ponds telescoping pond net features a 5-foot extendable telescoping handle, making it great for larger or deeper ponds. The material is soft but less fine in comparison to a skimmer net. The net is 16″ deep and the basket is 14″ wide, making it suitable for catching both koi and goldfish.

The reason the competition anglers use a portable net like this is because of how easy they are at landing fish with one hand, and since they are so wide measure the fish in the net is easier, and they allow for easy hook removal and easy release. 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. 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.Price: There are good nets in just about all price ranges and I will list them all and discuss prices more below. Size of the net: Consider the size and weight of the fish you could be catching and the weight and size of the net since you will likely be wade fishing.

The FishPond Net Holster and the Smith Creek Net Holter can be added to your wading belt to secure your net in an upright position. Functionality: A well-designed net with a proper hoop sizer and shape is just easier to use and transport. Handle length is also important. Pond nets may not be complex like tools pumps or filters, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t any factors to consider before purchasing! The good thing with this method is it keeps the mesh away from trees and branches that can dislodge or damage the net.

Durability: Some net materials last long and are much stronger. Consider fiberglass nets, carbon fiber, and wooden nets, and for the net bag, consider rubber nets, or rubber-coated net bags. 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!

Grip: The handle grip can be important especially when your hands are wet from rain or the river. Some net handles will be rubberized or have some sort of coating for better grip. Choosing the Right Pond Net Pond nets are a great way to catch your fish or skim the water to clean debris. Public domain. Another heavy duty all-round pond net which works great for both cleaning and fish retrieval is TotalPond’s telescoping net. Similar to the net from Tetra, but with a slightly wider basket opening and larger mesh holes. The net, at its widest point, is around 15-16″ in width and around 16″ in depth. The fabric is soft but very strong, so would be suitable for a wide range of debris and also for catching pond fish.Even though it can be used safely for fish, we prefer this net as a heavy-duty cleaning net. The material is strong and the mesh holes are fine enough for both small and large debris removal. The outer brim of the net basket also has a sturdy metal casing, making it a good choice for raking the pond liner of pond sludge. It is much more durable in comparison with a regular skimmer net, so would be useful if you suffer with heavy debris build-up or algae. If the waist cord is secured properly it will ensure me that if my magnet net release lets go while walking through the bush it will still be attached by my waist which will then pull me and notify me that it came off. 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.

Therefore, if you are by yourself folding nets might not be the best option for a trout landing net. Competition Nets 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. Have you ever wondered about those wide hoop catch and release nets that the competition anglers use? Well, I’ve fished with world-class competition anglers and I actually use a competition net when I’m fishing for fun because a one-hand net these are the best catch and release net for small or big fish. Portability: Big bulky nets and nets with long handles are not good for river fishing. When trout fishing you DO NOT want a net you need to leave on the bank. Get a wading net designed to be portable. 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.

Guide Tip: Keep a long elastic-type lanyard on the handle and attach it to your belt. Attach the hoop end to the magnetic release. 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.
