Landing Nets

[SteveB]

Do they make landing nets made out of mono line? I spend more time
untangling treble hooks from my twisted line landing net than fishing.
Anything else besides a gaff to land fish? Small trout up to 24", but most
between 14 and 20" long.

hook so well...

Stop using treble hooks.

simple-minded day.

There are, but there are some rubberized that are easier on the fish and do
not hook hooks very well.

Dumb answer from a non-boater.

That is the net I was talking about, here it is in "tiny url" form.

There's no reason to use treble hooks. Most true sportfishermen remove
them from lures and use single hooks in their place.

He is fishing for trout for dinner. Power bait stays on trebles a lot
better. And the treble is maybe 1/4" across.

We use Rapalas, spoons, Mepps, Kastmasters, and a variety of crank baits for
catching trout. We use large trolling rigs, but I have better luck with
lures. Kids and uninformed inexperienced adults use Power Bait. I do like
to use a marshmallow/earthworm combo fished on a 16" leader, and a lead
weight when I locate big ones on the bottom.

Wow, a bait snob, who'd a thunk? ;) But then you will use marshmallow
in some circumstances?? Hummmmm... Sounds like you will use what works
at the time. So will I, and although I rarely use it, I do have PB in my
box...

When bank fishing for steelhead I use a wool glove or wet rag and tail
them (grab them by the wrist of their tail). If you turn them
upside-down they calm right down.
