The Art of Handcrafting Fly Fishing Nets

Fly fishing has always been about more than just catching fish. It’s about patience, skill, and a deep respect for the water and the environment around us. At Little-Brook, every handcrafted landing net is made with those same values in mind.

From Timber to Tool

Each landing net begins its life as carefully selected hardwood. We choose timber not just for strength, but for character. The grain, colour and natural movement of the wood all influence the final shape of the net.

The wood is bent by hand, allowing it to take on its classic oval form without compromising strength. This traditional method creates a net that is lightweight, durable, and perfectly balanced.

Shaped by Hand

Unlike mass-produced nets, every Little-Brook net is shaped, sanded and finished by hand. This allows subtle adjustments to be made throughout the process, ensuring the net feels right when it’s finally complete.

The handle is carefully contoured for comfort and control, whether you’re wading a narrow chalk stream, fishing larger rivers or at your local reservoir.

Finished for a Lifetime on the Water

Multiple coats of wax oil are applied to protect the wood while enhancing its natural beauty. The result is a net that not only performs on the river, but ages gracefully over time.

A handcrafted landing net isn’t just a piece of equipment — it’s something you’ll fish with for years, probably a lifetime and build memories with every outing.

At Little-Brook, we believe the best tools are the ones made slowly, properly, and with purpose.

Where wood and water meet in perfect harmony.
