Fishpond

Nomad Middle Fork Net 2.0

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I reach for the Middle Fork when I’m fishing everything from tighter creeks to drift-boat runs. The extra handle length gives me more control when a fish darts under the current, and the lightweight frame doesn’t feel fatiguing after miles of hiking. The TPU bag is great in faster water—low drag and tough enough for big fish."

We bring the Fishpond Nomad Middle Fork Net 2.0 along when a day on the water could take us anywhere—high-country tributaries, side channels, or slow bends below the boat. Its extended handle gives us the reach we want when a strong fish makes one last surge, and the balanced hoop shape lets us maneuver cleanly through brush and boulder fields as we work upstream. Light enough to hike with and long enough to offer real advantage, it’s the net we count on for full-day missions.

Built from a carbon-fiber and fiberglass composite, the Middle Fork stays strong without adding unnecessary weight or flex. A PVC-free TPU bag reduces drag so we can scoop confidently in swift current, and its stretch and durability perform well with larger trout. The matte finish limits shine in clear water, while the integrated scale along the handle lets us verify length quickly before release. Designed to slip easily into pack or sling slots, it blends portability with the performance needed across a wide range of fishing environments.
