This was my 15th trip, however my 1st trip into Quetico so barbless hooks are new to me. We missed a lot of fish because we did not have a net. I actually lost my smallmouth fish of a lifetime, however it will live in my memories and tales.

My question is, what is your favorite backcountry fishing net? I have two that are great for a fishing boat, but not for a Duluth pack.

This is one of my favorite things about canoe country fishing!

Bass Pro folding net - fixed or extendable. Stores well, deploys easy, sturdy.

I use a large REI tent pole bag for storage, slides down the outside of my CCS portage pack and held in place by the compression straps.

I was going to suggest the one that portagedog09 talked about. You will want one that folds up and has a net that is rubberized too. Makes it very easy to get your lure out of a rubberized net. Cotton nets are impossible to remove a lure because the barbs dig into the net, get a rubberized net. NET
