Hitting the Big Horn this summer. Have been there before and really could of used a longer handled wooden net. I would like to try and make one. Have seen plans for thinner pcs of wood glued and bent. I do quite a bit of woodworking and furniture making. Just wondering about advice on using solid pcs of wood for the net.
My buddy who I fish with in Idaho every year has a really creative approach to a long handled net for floating. He modified a piece of semi-rigid PVC pipe as an extension to fit the handle of his regular large catch and release net. He attaches it firmly with a heavy duty Velcro strap. Best of all when he parks the boat to wade a pool, he simply detaches the handle extension and clips the short handle in it’s regular place on his back.
