    Default Landing net

    Anyone here know of an Internet resource, or book on building a laminated hardwood Landing net. I looked everywhere I could think of and got skunked.
    Thank you for any help; John

    Rusty, ...

    I'm not much of a woodworker, ... so I'll let Diane answer.

    Just wanted to stick my nose in to send a Warm Welcome to the Board.

    Don't be a stranger.

    Oh, ... and don't forget the [url=http://flyanglersonline.com/chat2.5/:f0b37]The Angler's Hut[/url:f0b37]

    Welcome aboard. Been doing some searching for you while at work here tonight. Go to search and type in - Brooks Fly Fishing Club - Click on their web site and scroll down thru it to- net building activity - click on the link and it shows you some steps they took in building some laminated nets. It is not complete instructions but it gives you enough to maybe make a start. Hope this helps and I will keep looking.

    Welcome to the best site around. New guy's have to make the coffee and chop wood. Remember to wipe your feet and no cleats in the clubhouse.
    You've already got a lot of help in your quest and that what it's all about.

    This has been a recurring thought of mine too, that is to make landing nets out of exotic woods. But, where do you buy the nets?

    I've never built a landing net but here's a link to an online tutorial:
