Fishpond Nomad Middle Fork Net

Fishpond - Nomad Middle Fork Net | Versatile reach and rugged reliability in a lightweight, packable landing net.

The Fishpond Nomad Middle Fork Net is your go-anywhere landing solution, engineered for anglers who demand performance across a wide range of fishing environments. With a slightly extended handle, it offers extra control when netting fish from shore, stream, or boat—without compromising packability. Built with a lightweight carbon-fiber and fiberglass composite, it's both durable and buoyant, making it ideal for bushwhacking through tough terrain or floating alongside you on the water.

A practical hoop shape reduces snagging, while integrated ruler markings up to 35 inches help you size up your latest catch. Whether you’re trekking into alpine creeks or casting from drift boats, the Nomad Middle Fork Net delivers confidence, durability, and utility in one sleek package.

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.
