Wade Net – Handcrafted with Aquafortis-Treated Maple & Brook Trout Artwork
This 31” Wade Net is a true labor of love and craftsmanship. The 17” x 11” hoop is built from premium maple, carefully treated with aquafortis to bring out the rich, vintage tones hidden within the wood grain—a classic technique once used on long rifles of the 1700s.
What truly sets this net apart is the hand-drawn brook trout artwork. Over 20 hours were spent bringing the trout to life using colored pencils, layer by layer, to capture every vibrant detail of this iconic species. No two are ever alike.
Designed for fly anglers who appreciate both function and fine art, this net performs on the water and turns heads wherever it goes.
