Thanks for all the support guys. It means a lot to me. Pete, the woods are Maple on the white stuff, figured cherry on the redddish wood, purpleheart on the purple, adn a bloodwood stripe down each of em. The dark wood is wenge.
flutterffly, thanks for the encouragement. I really enjoy blending these two passions of mine and hope this thing can self-sustain. So please forward me to all your rich uncles who have everything they want and a chinese net! LOL! Speaking of chinese nets, I just got my BassPro and they are selling lil baby wood trout nets for 4.99. What a travesty.
Folks, I simply want to keep doing what I am doing. Thanks again all!

So I will continue to post then.
Mark, Idaho is open my man. It is me alone at this point. Lets gO!

They are some beautiful nets...I look at it this way, you are stimulating the US economy! Keep posting your custom nets.

Thanks for the info Mark,

Boy 1 out of 3, I was way off :oops:. I always figured my monitor didn't show colors well, but come on . Then its the figured cherry I am in love with!!!!!

Don't give those BassPro shop nets a second thought. Quality rises to the top. Its the same with Bamboo rods. People always look for the best deal and eventually, they come around. The old "You get what you pay for" rings true in good craftsmanship. Your work is top shelf and you will probably start getting enough work to where it might come dangerously close to work ;). Keep it up.

Very nice! I like the snake knot lanyards as well. Would be easily replaced if it were damaged as once learned, it's an easy knot to tie. Love that deep red one. 8-) 8-)
How do you tie the fly to your hooks without killing them with the thread? I keep cutting them in half.
