Thank you everyone!

"Are you making some to sell?"
That wasn't the intention, most of the nets sold at the big box stores are crap, most of their expense goes to the bag/net and the frames suck and fall apart. The ones that aren't crap at the fly shops for this size can run $130 and up, I wasn't about to pay that for something I could do myself. So I started doing them, while I was at it, I figured I would do some for friends too. I took Rob's into the fly shop a while back to find the right size bag for it and there was a comment about contracting me out for them, but I shrugged it off as I have been down that road before doing something I love and turning it into a business. Considering how long it takes to do one and being able to do other things while glue dries etc, I may make a couple and throw them out on Craigslist to see how it goes. Worst case, I end up with a couple back-ups.

They better get used and used a lot <cough>Reese<cough>
My wife's boss is a doctor, female too boot (I think that's so cool), who also fly fishes and goes to places like New Zealand, Patagonia, Canada and Alaska (all the places I dream of). I look forward to seeing pictures of that net landing trout in those places!

Seriously though, I'd buy at least one!
