    Default Lost Another!

    Net Elkmont Campground area Little River Smoky National Park. Cabela's wood net with a clear rubber bag and half of a magnetic release Velcro tied to hoop. If found keep it you deserve the darn thing I don't!

    Maybe you should ask Santa for a woodburning kit next Christmas, and put your name and address on the next net.

    Been there, done that. I hate carrying a net, but they are helpful for quickly landing larger fish and holding the fish safely in the water while you get ready for a photo. I add a piece of elastic cord between the two magnetic pieces. The cord is long enough that I can use the net to land a fish, but it keeps me attached to the net so I can't walk away without it.

    I am interested to learn how you can lose a net. I have a magnetic release with a slim shock cord from the hook that clasps the top magnet to the vest to the handle of the net. I hang my net "net-up". When I come back to my car the net is on my vest and when I take off the vest I remove the net clip and put the net/magnet/cord in the car. That way I also avoid having the net float away if I drop it in the stream - it is connected to the vest by the cord. I think those magnets often come with a cord. How does this work for you?

    When you hear that odd sound that just doesn't seem right, just pay it no attention it was your net hitting the ground. That's how you loose them

    Steven, I feel your pain. I have left several lying around the areas I fish. I am pretty sure I went all the way to Arizona to lose one. I got a new net with a clear silicone bag for Christmas. I figure it was the death knell on me catching any fish I would really need a good net for this year. But I intend to secure it well when fishing and coming going to and from the river.

    I have lost a net or two, and found a net or two. Quit using them many years ago, but the one I still own has my name on it. Most FF types being honest folks, I figure the odds are good that if I ever leave it lying on a rock somewhere, I might get it returned.
