Looks (and is priced) like it's meant for fresh water fly fishing - really nice, but out of my price range. It will however, be the last net you'll ever buy if it meets your size needs. For carrying on a kayak, it looks perfect. But it is too small for my needs and expensive. When I fish tournaments, I want a big net. I also want one that floats. So I have had two generations of my own design that I've used over the last 15 or so years. I buy a big aluminum frame net at Academy. Add an old stringer float (with the hole reamed out) to the handle and one at the opposite end of the net's rim. You have to disassembled the net and take the netting halfway off the frame to add the second float. Floats, cost less than $25 and can take a 40" red or a 9 lb trout with ease.

Cool. Sounds like a good deal you do there.

The nomad nets do float on their own. I don't fish tournaments, and you can use these nets in any body of water. Not just for freshwater. Or for fly fishing . They would hold fish from a 30" Red to pan fish.

They are a little pricey, but sometimes it's nice to treat yourself to nice gear. There is a range of sizes and uses that fit all fisherman needs.

I canoe fish a lot and the extra length will be very handy.
