Q: What types of fly fishing nets do you sell?
A: At Drift Outfitters, we carry a variety of fly fishing nets, including lightweight wading nets & larger boat net models. Many of our nets feature fish-safe rubber or silicone bags, making them perfect for catch-and-release fishing.

Q: Why should I use a rubber or silicone net bag?
A: Rubber and silicone net bags are gentler on fish compared to traditional mesh. They prevent scale damage, reduce stress, and stop hooks from snagging, making them ideal for catch-and-release anglers.

Q: How do I choose the right size of net?
A: Smaller nets are best for trout and stream fishing, while larger hoop nets are suited for steelhead, salmon, and bass. Consider the waters you fish most often — a compact net is easier to carry on foot, while a longer-handled net is useful from boats or fishing from shore.

Q: Which fly fishing net brands do you carry?
A: We carry trusted net makers Fishpond, Rising Nets, and Simms. These brands are known for their durable frames, comfortable grips, and fish-friendly designs.

Q: Are your nets suitable for catch-and-release fishing?
A: Yes, our nets are designed with catch-and-release in mind. Rubberized bags, lightweight frames, and safe handling features help minimize harm to fish while making landing easier.

Q: How should I care for my fly fishing net?
A: Rinse your net after every trip, especially if used in saltwater. Let it dry fully before storage, and check the bag and frame regularly for wear. Proper care will ensure your net lasts for many seasons.
