The Fat Jake custom fly fishing landing net is our most popular design. The goal was to make a trout net that acted like a Swiss army knife, solving all sorts of problems that the modern angler faces while out on the river. Whether you catch a small brook trout or a large rainbow trout the Fat Jake is built to be the perfect size.
We handcrafted this model with a teardrop shape so that the end of the hoop is large enough to pull in any catch you have, while the holes of the fish safe rubber net bags are kept small to avoid losing a small catch.
Constructing the Fat Jake with multiple types of wood is essential for a lighter weight that won’t drag you down while infusing enough strength to wrangle the fattest and strongest fish.

We believe that the best fly fishing nets are made with traditional craftsmanship and local materials 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.
What is a Wayward Classic Landing Net? The Walnut handle is the centerpiece of the net. Cherry accents marry the Walnut into a Hickory hoop with a Walnut pinstripe. The Classic comes in several different sizes. Review the sizing chart to make sure you get the correct size for you.
