Trout Bag replacement
Hello, I want to replace the trout bag on my net. I bought this net from "Guy Rich" about 30+ years ago. I bought a "Catch and Release" type replacement bag and while it's true that I have been a fly-fisherman for almost 40 years I never replaced a net bag. Are there some easy to follow instructions available (pictures/video, ok)? Thanks in advance, Rusty Rat
Personally I think these are the way to go...
Just the replacement net is available...
Easily zip on...
Several sizes....
I have even put one on an old tennis racket....

Ditto what ducksterman said on Measurenet, love it. If given the choice I would go with the rubber net bag and not the nylon one. Personal choice, also, hooks don't get snarled in the rubber bag.

I'd go with the ghost (clear) rubber.
Rusty,
Like you, I've been fly fishing for a bit over 40 years and have never replaced a net bag either.
I notice that you already have a new net bag. Any chance that the folks where you got it can be of assistance with the replacement process?

This is a really nice frame. I cherish it but want to still use it. I bought it in the Catskills probably from Harry Darbee. I don't want to cover it up. Thank you all for your replies. RR
