Abstract:

An improved way of storing, accessing, and deploying a flyfishing seine net. A fine, lightweight seine net is transported in a compacted manner inside a small nylon pouch. This pouch compartment is attached to a circular-shape elasticized strap which slides up a landing net handle and is secured at the top, unused portion of the handle with a Hook & Loop fastening design. The seine net employs an elasticized band around a portion of its perimeter whereby it stretches, overlaps, and secures to the oval-shape frame of the landing net without tying.
