A fishing net is one of the most essential tools in an angler’s gear collection. Designed to help you safely and efficiently land your catch, a good net can mean the difference between success and a story about the one that got away. Choosing the perfect fishing net isn't just about convenience—it's about enhancing your overall experience on the water and protecting both your gear and the fish.

Whether you’re casting in fresh mountain streams or chasing trophy fish in coastal waters, the right fishing net is key to helping you land the fish of your dreams. Our selection of nets is built to handle both fresh and saltwater species, giving you the tools you need to make every trip a success.

For freshwater anglers, tackling western headwaters, tailwaters, lakes, and streams. Nets like the Fishpond Nomad Emerger, Orvis Wide Mouth Hand Net, and Simms Day Maker Landing Net offer you the reach and strength to secure Trout, Bass, and more without risking a broken tippet.

Heading out to saltwater? Bigger nets with longer reach are essential. We recommend the Fishpond Nomad El Jefe Net to make landing your larger saltwater species a breeze. For wading and Kayaking using a net like the Fishpond Nomad Mid-Length will give you just enough reach to secure your catch without hassle. With reinforced stitching, these nets are built tough to handle the fight of your saltwater targets.

Key factors in choosing the best fishing net for you:

• Water Type: Fresh or Salt
• Target Species
• Net Material & Durability
• Location & Access
• Handle Length
