Fly Fishing Net
Tips on Choosing Fly Fishing Nets
Your main method of landing a fish is probably your rod and reel. However, fly fishing nets are still very useful tools, especially when using a light leader and tiny fly. If you’re looking to buy a net for your next outing, there are a few things you need to consider beforehand. This article will give you a few tips on choosing the perfect one.
Handle
One of the first things you need to consider when buying a net is the size of the handle. If you want a design that’s easy to maneuver and compact enough to transport easily, you need to look for a shorter handle. This is the better choice when wading.
If you’re fishing from a boat, you’ll need a longer handle because you’ll have to reach farther to the waterline. There are also nets that have sliding or telescoping handles. These are your best bet as you can shorten or lengthen the handle to suit your needs.
Frame
You also have to think about the material that the fly fishing nets are made from. Some of the most popular options include wood, aluminum, and fiberglass. Fiberglass and aluminum designs are usually stronger and lighter. This makes them easier to maneuver while ensuring that they’re sturdy enough to land bigger fish. If you choose a wood design, make sure that it’s of high-quality.
Bags
Another important consideration is the bag material. They are usually made from plastic, rubber, nylon, and cotton. Cotton and nylon bags are safer for fish as they won’t damage their mucus coat easily. Rubber bags are also less damaging, although they’re pretty heavy.
Transportation
One of the final things to consider when buying fly fishing nets is how you want to transport them. Some can attach to your vest using a magnetic clip that you can easily release. There are also plenty other options to choose from. Two other common attachment options include spring-loaded cables and Velcro. You’ll just have to choose the type that you prefer best.
