Hey Guys
Anyone of you woodworkers make nets?
Or know of someone.

Thanks
Matt

I made this one with some 100+ year old bamboo, cedar and hemlock....thinking of making a “user” boat net next.

No, but I have a Hellbender bamboo net that I like.

Dave Griffith (coltercreeknets.com) makes a beautiful wood net with a scale built into the handle. Many guides in New Zealand use nets with built-in scales, but they’re otherwise not very nice nets. Dave’s are gorgeous.

My problem is that I don’t catch a whole lot of fish big enough to bother weighing, and when I do catch a hog I’m usually with a guide who uses his own long-handled net.

I've made a couple. Ash and walnut strips - steambent; padouk handle. Getting a decent net bag is actually more of a problem than making the frame ;-)

Thanks for the replies everyone.
I reached out to Bob Hallowell.

Not only an exquisite net maker but just about anything made from wood. I have seen his artistry at his daughter's restaurant, superb.

What your source for net bags?

I have three of Snake River nets, beautiful workmanship in the wood. They have a large selection of woods available and they are the only company, that I know of, that offer measure nets.
