While airline staff were busily trying to find the lost (gate checked) travel fly rod tube, I gave Mike Westfall of Blue Ribbon Nets a call to let him know that I had arrived in Bozeman. Mike said he'd be over in just a few minutes with a landing net to carry along on the week long Montana trip.
Mike and I had met at IFTD the month before and I was impressed the current Blue Ribbon Nets product line and even more excited about the improvements coming for 2011. Blue Ribbon Nets is working on a new netting material that is considerably lighter, will be made in Bozeman, and is much more eco-friendly than the rubber netting that is currently used industry wide.
Mike arrived outside the Gallatin Field Airport and handed over a large Catch & Release net with the clear rubber netting.
The Catch & Release net is a great shape, solidly constructed, and the size of the netting is more than enough for the fish that I typically hook up with.

Check out the Blue Ribbon Nets and look for several upcoming T.F.M. posts on Blue Ribbon Nets as their new 2011 products lines are released.
