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

I 100% agree with getting a rubber net with big holes. This is the one I use:

I have the folding frabill net. It is similar to that bass pro one above, but smaller, and the mechanism is plastic instead of metal. The net is also fabric and not rubberized. It's starting to get a few holes where I've cut trebles out of it because they do snag in it pretty easy, and I've never tried a "big" fish in it.

Of the ones shown so far, my money would be on the Bass Pro.

Unless they have made that kast king net stronger, I wouldn't recommend it. My buddy took it up last year and every northern above 27" tore holes right through the netting. And it's even harder to fight a 40" through a net too.

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!
