Wide-Mouth Guide Net | Orvis

Versatile Performance - From Boat Days to Walk-and-Wade Sessions

As the longtime fishing guide adage goes, a larger target is better when landing fish—exactly 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?

Made from a unique composite material for lightweight durability that won't show age as easily as wood, with a deeper, knotless, hook-resistant net bag. The 19½" handle length covers you from boat days to walk-and-wade sessions, making this the ultimate versatile net. Pairs perfectly with our Guide Sling Pack and Bug-Out Backpack for a complete system.
