Every Steelhead angler wishes someone would make a net that focuses on their specific needs, so we built a wooden Fly Fishing Landing Net just for you! Wayward specializes in handcrafted wood landing nets that are proudly made in the USA! We believe that the best fly fishing nets are made with traditional craftsmanship and local materials. Every Wayward wooden fly-fishing net is made right here in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
The XL Steelhead custom fly fishing net is a larger model of the classic Fat Jake. The modifications were made with the steelhead angler in mind. This model will work for smaller fish as well because the holes in the rubber bag are no larger than on other trout nets. The wooden net hoop is larger and thicker to handle the weight of a larger fish. Constructing the XL with multiple types of wood is essential for a lighter weight that won’t drag you down while infusing enough strength into the hoop to wrangle the fattest and strongest fish. Rubber bags are used because they are gentle on the fish’s skin.
Customization: Wayward offers over 200 different custom fly fishing net options and our builder will let you see what the different wood species will look like together. Once you have the species selected, we will handcraft a wood landing net just for you! If at any time you are unhappy with using the site, you can call us and we’ll take the order over the phone.
XL Measurements: The hoop measures 14 inches wide by 18 inches long. The handle is 18 inches long and shaped to maximize your grip. The entire net measures 37 inches head to toe. A shorter handle can be accommodated at no extra cost, just add a note at check out.
The Wayward Landing Net is handcrafted in the USA! We believe that the best fly fishing nets are made with traditional craftsmanship and local materials (we can acquire exotic species if that is your preference) and Wayward is proud to produce handcrafted wood landing nets right here in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
We went through 4 or 5 different shapes before we settled on what we find to be a great balance of grip and comfort. Our nets are handcrafted with a teardrop shape so that the end of the hoop is large enough to pull in any catch, while the holes of the fish safe rubber net bags are small to avoid losing a smaller catch.
We spend a lot of time picking beautifully grained wood from central Pennsylvania. It is important to stay close by so that we can have a hand in not only picking the most beautiful wood, but also in processing it down correctly. Also, staying local is akin to staying eco friendly.
