Snowbee 3 in 1 Trout Net
The Snowbee 3 in 1 Trout Net comes complete with two telescopic aluminium handles.

  • The shorter model is only 12″ (30cm) when closed, providing an ideal river ‘scoop’ net, particularly for competition fishing. This telescopes out to 18″ (46cm) for additional reach and fits neatly within international competition rules for overall length.
  • The second telescopic handle extends from a closed length of 25″ (64cm) to a fully extended length of 45″ (115cm), providing an ideal river bank or small Stillwater net.

Both handles are fitted with high-density foam grips. This versatile net really is a 3-in-1 for the river or bank angler.

The D-section aluminium frame is ultra lightweight, yet offers amazing strength and rigidity. Attached to this is Snowbee’s new hexagonal Rubber-Mesh knotless net, which has a flat bottom panel for the fish to lie in – ideal for catch & release, as this design minimises scale damage.

Frame size: 16″ x 20″ (40 x 50cm).           Price £39.99

Loop Opti Dryfly Reel

loop_opti_reel_blackBack from Scotland, a good trip, spent in good company. The fishing I did, the wife, non-fisher person had priority on my time, was very good considering the weather. Had some long walks to some amazing Lochs where the trout fought like tigers, a nine-inch fish put a good bend in my Loop Cross S1 6# rod, I’m glad I was using 6lb Maxima line. The only downside of the trip was my 4# Orvis LA Battenkill reel falling out of my rucksack somewhere on a mountain track! Looking for a replacement as Orvis no longer make this reel, I have decided to get a Loop Opti Dry Fly to replace it, having looked at all the other reels we have, yes I will have to pay for it and no I will not claim on insurance, my fault for not securing it, if more people accepted responsibility for their own stupidity, insurance would be a lot cheaper! Wouldn’t it?

Vision Loikka Boots in T&S

Vision Loikka GUMMI Wading BootsTrout & Salmon have reviewed the Loikka Wading Boots from Vision, the sole’s GUMMI rubber offers better grip than the industry-standard Vibram, the sole pattern of raised discs of different sizes makes it easier to change direction in the river, thirteen tungsten studs on each sole  have a low profile so parts of the rubber are always in touch to stop sliding. Subtle features but they make a difference. The sole extends to make a front bumper to stop anything forcing its way between sole and midsole. They are light and very tough and reinforced from above the ankle and all along the sides.
