#491949 - 03/02/09 12:29 AM Salmon/Steelhead Net
Krome Brite Spawner Registered: 10/18/00 Posts: 665 Loc: Washougal, WA	Does anyone have any suggestions for a good versatile salmon/steelhead net to use from a boat in the Columbia and other medium to large-sized rivers? Are long-handled nets better? Looking to buy a boat soon and want to get a few basic things to go with it first, a good net being one. Thanks!

mitch184 Returning Adult Registered: 02/02/05 Posts: 334 Loc: Lake Stevens	I'm looking for a new net right now too. I think I've settled on the Frabil rubber coated knotless CNR net. Not the absolute biggest hoop or longest handle but I think it will do the trick for full time use. _________________________ Team Haters
