Rubber Fly Fishing Nets
You should probably consider using rubber fly fishing nets when practicing catch and release fly fishing, this type of net are designed to help protect the mucus when you land them.
The rubber fishing net helps protect the mucus that the fish has on its body, this mucus is really important to help protect the trout from diseases.
The less mucus that is removed when you net the fish the better off it will be when you return it to the water. This is very important and the rubber net benefits the trout when you have netted it and released it back.
These types of nets are very important to use to help preserve our stocks, especially if you are fishing catch and release as they do not harm them as much as an ordinary mesh fly net would.
Another great benefit with these nets is they also help to prevent the fly hook from becoming caught up in the bag of the net, this can save you time and frustration from trying to get the hook out from the net.
So If you are thinking of going on a catch and release trip, then you should consider buying rubber type nets to help protect the fish when using the catch and release method of fishing.
There are many manufactures around today producing the new rubber fly fishing nets, which means that the price has become very affordable to most fisherman.
They will probably be slightly more expensive than some of the ordinary mesh types, but this will be a minimal cost when you compare the benefits from using rubber fly fishing nets.
Below is just a couple of selected fly fishing nets we consider to be amongst the best nets for protecting the fish, you will also find the manufactures information to help you decide if the net is right for you.

Brodin Ghost Gallatin
This is our new state of the art net bag. It is injection molded from pvc and is clear in color. As you can see, when the net bag is put into water, it becomes translucent and is less likely to spook fish.
This net bag is proprietary to us and we have worked hard to develop one that is light in weight. You will find this net a pleasure to use on the stream. Flies, even when fished in tandem will not get stuck in the net. 
They will also stand out against the clear color so that you can extract them quickly and get back to fishing. We have chosen teak for the handle (there are no options) because of its relatively light weight and durability in the water.
Teak handle, four ply bow. Extra re-enforcing strip on the inside of the bow at the yoke. Rubber bags when placed in swift currents produce extra stress on a wood frame and this extra strip will ensure the integrity of the net.
