Versatile Performance – From Boat Days to Walk-and-Wade Sessions
As the longtime fishing guide adage goes, a larger target is better when landing fishexactly why we’ve substantially increased the hoop size in the Orvis Wide-Mouth Net series all the way through the yoke zone. Not only is it far easier to bag a fish with a hoop this big, but it’s also a lot safer when removing your fly from a fish with ample room to work. The fish appreciate that, as well.
Why Choose the Wide-Mouth Guide Net?
