Landing Net Recommendations
Hey guys, looking for a net with the new fangled plastic mesh. Am hesitant to net fish because of the cloth net I have, any recommendations? Thanks

I like the Brodin Gallatin ghost net. A few fly shops locally carry it. Big enough for a decent Bow river Brown.

Depends on the type of mesh you have. For lakes i use my moby crane, for rivers, i use something similar to the ghost net, the name escapes me.

I have a Streamside (The ones made in Lethbridge, not the cheap imposters from overseas...) that I use on creeks. Can land 24" fish and maybe bigger with a little creativity. For lakes and large rivers I use a Greys collapseable net (medium size) that has rubberized knotless cotton. It has an extendable handle and the head folds back over the handle to it is relatively compact. Can be carried on the back, and works well when you don't need to cover 5km of river, and you expect some big fish.
Streamside = good choice for streams.
Greys = good choice for stillwaters.

I have a Streamside and I thought it was imported by Streamside but manufactured overseas.

As far as I know, the good Streamside nets (i.e. the Canadian ones) are handmade by a guy in Lethbridge. I can't remember who now, but I even knew a guy who worked on them during the summer a couple times...
