>>2095330congrats anon, I love trout fishing above all else. any pics?
As for nets, you don't need to spend $150 on a fishpond one (no matter how cool the camo is on them) but any net that uses rubber should work decent enough. go check out a few in person at Cabela's or something to see how long of a handle you want and how big of a bag. any of the chinese stuff should be good for like$25. not only is rubber way better for the fish (espeecially trout) it doesn't hook your lures nearly as bad as the other ones.
