When you're fly fishing you probably will land your fish the majority of time with your rod and reel. But you may want to use a fly fishing net if you're using a light leader with a tiny fly.
To find the best fly fishing net, you may want to consider the following tips:
Handle For The Fly Fishing Net
The first thing you need to understand about fly fishing net handles is the length of the handle. Choose a short handle for convenience of travel yet it's easy to move around. Some anglers will only use one with a telescoping handle. To my mind the telescoping handle can be used for either wading or if you're sitting in a boat.
If you're fly fishing from your boat you'll want a fly fishing net with a longer handle. Thats because you're going to have to lean over to reach the water to reach your catch. Remember you don't want to join your catch in the water!
Your Fly Fishing Net Frame
Now remember you fly fishing net is going to hang from your vest, so you want a lightweight frame. At least I prefer a lightweight one of either aluminum or fiberglass. But there are some traditionalists who prefer wood. If you''re opting for a wood frame choose high quality. It makes a long difference in the long run .
Fly Fishing Net Bags
Fly fishing bags are made of many different materials. Cotton and nylon are preferred by those who don't want to disturb the mucous layer of the fish. Cotton won't last as long as a nylon bag. For those who don't mind the excess weight, the rubber bags also work well.
Carrying Your Fly Fishing Net
Keeping your hands free and the fly fishing net easily available are two of the things you need to consider before buying a fly fishing net. That's why so many anglers like magnetic clips. They release easily and keep your fly fishing net out of the way till you're ready to use it. Other clips available are spring loaded cables and Velcro straps. All of these eliminate fumbling and reaching. If you're going to be doing fly fishing from both a boat and wading, then seriously consider a telescoping handle fly fishing net. It'll give you both options in one net.
