For boat fishing the long handled net used by the bait caster is satisfactory. For permanent camps it can have a one-piece handle and a solid frame but for ease of carrying the folding frames with jointed handle are most convenient. Cheap nets are made of cotton, the better grades being of braided linen fish line and are more durable.
Creels, Stringers and Bags
The creel for large trout and bass fishing should be as large as possible. Creel straps should be the patent kind that go over the left shoulder with a belt to hold the creel close to the body. This leaves the right shoulder unencumbered for casting.
