Nomad Yampa Hand Net 2.0

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I like the Yampa Hand Net for smaller water or days when I’m covering a lot of ground. The short handle makes it easy to maneuver in tight spots, and the hoop size is big enough for surprisingly large trout. The TPU bag also moves through current better than the old-school rubber nets I used to carry."

We reach for the Fishpond Nomad Yampa Hand Net 2.0 when our day is built around moving fast, exploring side channels, and slipping quietly between brushy banks. Its compact shape and short handle give us the control needed to net fish cleanly in tight quarters, whether we’re tucked beneath willows or stepping along a shallow gravel bar. Light, buoyant, and easy to stash in any pack slot, it feels made for spontaneous walk-wade sessions.

Despite its smaller footprint, the Yampa Hand Net 2.0 shares the same carbon-fiber and fiberglass construction found across the Nomad line, keeping weight low while maintaining stiffness for confident scooping. The PVC-free TPU net bag stretches without tearing, resists abrasion, and sheds current so we can make precise landings even in quick water. Finished with a glare-reducing matte surface and built to handle everything from local ponds to surprisingly strong river fish, this net brings reliable control to every step of the approach.
