The right way is how it is meant to be used, the best way often requires a modification, but it’s well worth the time to do it this way. 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. This is the reason why I find so many nets on the ground or hanging off low tree branches. This is also why your net mesh rips. When you hook a stump with that mesh as you are walking it can easily rip your net. 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!

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. 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. 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.

Fishpond Confluence Net Release - Gunmetal

There are a variety of trout nets available from short-handle nets, long-handle nets, cheap nets, very expensive nets, and nets of all different shapes and sizes. I will discuss all of these so you know exactly which trout net is best for you. 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. 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. 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.

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. On some nets like the one in the above image, the net might even dangle in the river and will catch some floating debris. Look closely and you can see a branch caught on my client’s net. Weight: The weight of the net is important since it will likely be hanging off your shoulders or waist all day long. For instance, if you have a small pond with a shallow depth, a pond net with shorter handle support and a narrower net may be more suitable. This will allow you more control over the cleaning process and make it much easier to guide your goldfish into the net itself. For larger or deeper ponds, a pond net with a long and sturdy handle and wider brim is more desirable, allowing you to reach further into the water and giving you an easier time with cleaning. If you just want to skim the water’s surface, a skimmer net would be best with an ultra-fine mesh and a shallow depth to the basket for maximum debris removal. 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.Without it, I might keep on walking. I have found plenty of nets along the path or floating down the river with only one end of the magnet attached, I’m on the river over 300 days most years and I bet that I find 3 to 5 nets every year.
