Net
An essential piece of gear for any fly fisher, a quality net makes it easier to land fish while enabling anglers to keep fish in the water and out of harm’s way. The rubber-basket models are gentle on fish and minimize mortality rates. Fishpond makes strong, lightweight, models in a variety of lengths and basket shapes. Check out the Nomad nets here.
