NICE PROJECT - beautiful job

Just to let you know I was very happy with your steelhead net kit. I added the handle with aspen highlights and brass plugs at the inch marks. You can put the fish’s nose on the inside of the net and measure the tail against the brass plugs – real quick for the photo and the release.
From the inside of the net to the handle is 30”. The large brass plugs are at 5” intervals. At 30” the net fits in my vest back pocket and is at the top of my head – good for bush wacken. See the attachments.


My fishing partners asked if I am afraid to use it now – scratches and fish slim are much better than dust!
Nice product!

2008 TROUT SEASON HAS BEGUN

Spring has sprung and we are eagerly tying on our flies and wading out in the streams for those fiesty trout.

Missouri had record numbers of fishermen in the trout parks on opening day March 1, 2008.

If the first day is any indication of the rest of the season, it should be a memorable one.

MORE GREAT PHOTOS FROM RYAN

Our congratulations to Ryan Grinwis of Michigan for his beautiful job on the steelhead trout net which he recently purchased and finished from one of our Franklin Net Kits!


Ryan says in an email, “Here are a few more pics with a male steelhead I got today in my net. So far I have netted over 25 steelhead with it and it works great!”




Ryan, your pics are awesome! Thanks again for sharing them with us and may you continue to land those steelheads. Keep us posted!

FRANKLIN NETS STEELHEAD TROUT NET MADE FROM A KIT

We are proud to show these two photos sent to us by one of our customers, Lendol Lawrence of Colorado. Check out Lendol's handy work!


Along with the beautiful finish he also added his monogram to the handle of the steelhead trout net kit, which is a nice personal touch.


Nice work Lendol and we hope you are landing a good mess of trout!
Thanks for sending in the photos!
