Fishing Trout

Project by Zipsss posted 592 days ago 345 views 1 time favorited 10 comments Add to Favorites Watch

Next month I am going fishing with one of my army buddies to Roscoe, NY, in the heart of the Catskills, and while fantasizing on the biggest brown trout ever, I created a par of nets from bended laminated white oak and mahogany. The design came from an old woodworking magazine.

I love these fishing nets. This past weekend My 2 boys, my Dad and me went trout fishing in the North Georgia mountains. They would have come in handy!

Zipsss,

These are practical projects that I am sure you will have fun with and hopefully get to use a lot.

Nice job. And enjoy your fishing trip.

Zipsss;

Now I’m envious of you! What a beautiful place to head for a little R & R!

Great job on the nets, and I hope you catch a brownie big enough to need them both!

Lee

I’ve been wanting to make some of those myself. Where did you buy the netting? I’ve been unable to find any.

Thank you Lee. I will name the first one that I catch and release after you. By the way, I have been keeping up with your blogs and projects and they are very instructive, thanks. I will see you next July.

The nets can be purchased at Bass Pro Shops. www.BassPro.com use the Nylon one, they are softer and will not damage the trout. The plans are from wood mag.

I don’t think they’re big enough, at least I hope so. Have fun.

Great Job on the nets, I’ve been waiting to find the time to make a couple myself. The net I am currently using is one I found floating down the San Juan River in New Mexico. The San Juan is another great rainbow trout river, you need to come down and try it.
