Medium sized Fly Fishing Net: Quilted Maple and Koa

$525.00

This an elegant and functional traditionally sized landing net made with striking woods. 22.5 inches overall, 9 inch handle and a 13 x 9 inch hoop.

 This net handle was made from the small cut offs of a special piece of maple from a small saw mill in Iowa.  When I first started making nets I went to that mill with my father.  Walking across the mill yard, there was a block of wood covered by mud and grim, the grain of the wood just barely showed through.  When I bought my lumber I asked about that small board and they replied,  "Just take it."  I cut it into small planks and let it dry.  When I finally used that wood, I found that it had some of the highest figure and the most iridescent grain that I have ever seem.  I think the rest of that log ended up in pallets. The hoop is Koa from a small supplier in Hawaii that would tell me where each of the trees he harvested had grown and had fallen.  

All nets have a custom shop made brass eye for attaching the net to your vest or belt. All my nets feature a multi-coat epoxy finish to enhance and protect.

If you are interested in a similar net with custom woods or features it is available as a special order, there is a 6-12 month wait time.  Please contact me to discuss  a custom order to confirm details. (sam@flyfishingnets.net)
