"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I like the Yampa Guide when I need real reach without losing accuracy. The long handle helps when I'm wading deep or leaning over a boat rail, and the River Armor wrap makes the frame incredibly tough. The TPU bag slides through heavy current better than most nets this size."" When we’re covering long river miles or guiding friends through big freestone runs, we carry the Fishpond Nomad Yampa Guide Net 2. 0 for the reach and control required to land strong fish cleanly. Its 29-inch handle extends our range whether we’re wading to our waist, reaching over an oar, or scooping beneath an undercut seam. Despite its length, the slim profile rides comfortably behind us, staying out of the way during long approaches and high steps across boulder fields. The River Armor 2. 0 construction wraps the carbon-fiber and fiberglass frame in woven DuPont Kevlar fiber, adding exceptional durability without giving up buoyancy or balance. The PVC-free TPU bag stretches farther without tearing, reduces drag in heavy current, and handles large trout with confidence. With a matte finish to reduce glare and an integrated scale along the handle, the Yampa Guide Net is designed for anglers who move between walk-wade water and the boat and expect consistent performance in both environments."
