fishpond Nomad Middle Fork Fly Fishing Net | River Armor Edition with 35-Inch Scale

Meet the Nomad Middle Fork—a versatile fly fishing landing net designed to adapt from alpine streams to riverbank setups. With an 18-inch handle that delivers added reach and a hoop geometry that minimizes hangups in challenging water, this net puts you in a comfortable position to guide a trout toward safety. The handle itself features ruler markings up to 35 inches, giving you a quick reference for documenting your catch on the go.

The River Armor edition elevates durability without adding unnecessary weight. It blends a carbon fiber and fiberglass core with a woven DuPont Kevlar outer layer, resulting in a surprisingly sturdy tool that’s still responsive in your hands. This construction is built to withstand the demands of bushwhacking days and rough river days alike, offering reliability when you need it most and a sense of confidence when the water is swift and unpredictable.
