Too stretchy and too big of holes.I bought this earlier this year shortly after I started fly fishing. I went to my local Cabela's and asked the employee for a decent net. This is not a decent net. I've had fish that are double the girth or more of the holes in this net be able to force themselves through the holes before I could take the hook out of their poor mouth's. You land the fish with the net instead of wearing them out too much to revive and try to get them free again quickly to keep them healthy and when the fish can stretch through the holes and gets your line tangled and you still have to grab the fish with a wet hand to get the hook out meanwhile not dropping your net or rod that now has your leader running through the holes it kinda defeats the purpose of having a net in the first place. Pic attached is of a fish that was bigger than the holes but found his way through them because it's so stretchy causing a stream side disaster. Luckily when I got him released he swam away strongly immediately but this net could potentially cause fish deaths because it is not secure. What good is a net that a fish swims through because the material is too stretchy? Then you still have to land the fish by hand while managing having your leader threaded through this net. Right after the picture was taken this brown found his way through one of the holes. Notice how his body is bigger than the biggest holes? This net is too stretchy. Save your money and spend it elsewhere.

Does What Its Supposed ToGood net for the price. The reason I gave it 4 stars is they do not include a lanyard. So instead of including a mass produced lanyard for a minimal cost they make the customer do it. Choices like that bug me. Solid net but plan on an extra purchase to get a lanyard.

Poor craftsmanship, broke after 1 useI bought the net on a Saturday for a Great Lakes steelhead trip I had planned on the following Monday. I went out fishing with this net and the began to crack after the first fish I landed (24 inch steelhead). The net separated where the handle and the basket of the net meet. I proceeded to catch 1 more fish that afternoon and when I landed the second fish in the net, I heard a loud CRACK. When I looked down, the entire side of the net was split at the seam. I am going to attempt to return the net as it is 4 days old and completely broken

Too shallow!Bought this net at my local Bass Pro to replace a woven net that was driving me crazy. I hate taking time to fiddle a fly loose from the net, if it gets caught while I'm putting the fish on the stringer. But when the barb goes through the lip of the trout and then catches in the net, it is a real struggle.
Problem solved. The first trout I netted with my new net was a 2# rainbow that just bounced right out of the net. I was able to wrestle him back into the net, but the mouth of the net is so large, and the net so shallow, there was no way to secure it in the net. I took that net back to the truck and continued with my old trusty woven net, frustrations and all(didn't lose any fish, though).

fly shop Hobbs creek rubber trout netThis net is not deep enough. other than that it is fine. When you catch a fish there is not enough net to keep the fish in.

Rubber bag trout netI haven't used it yet but it looks like it will work fine. I do a lot of catch and release so this should help the fish. I was tired of untangling the hooks from fine mesh nets, so thought I would try this. Hopefully the rubber lasts for several years.
Thank you for choosing Bass Pro Shops. The total length of SKU 2355908 is 44”.

Sorry rookie question here. Never fly fished but my son is started and really enjoys anyway - pros and cons on the handle length and net size? Not sure whether to go for 9" or 11-1/2"
Asked by: Ed69
The longer handle will make it easier to net fish from farther away a bit will tend to be more cumbersome and bulky than he most likely needs unless he is catching 25” trout. The smaller handle will be easier to handle and will be plenty big for most fish(bluegill, trout, and bass) just save the $15 and go with the smaller net.
