Yes, very interesting sites. I saw the first one before. The third link with
the "Way King Net 0-10lb" Sounds interesting. I wonder if the handles and
the mechanics could be transferred on to a rubberized trout net? Hmmm. Or
just add a narrow rubberized catcher to this net?
Anyways, thanks for your input here. I will study all the sites in the next
few days. I'm also going to Brim fish in Australia and possibly trout fish
in New Zealand in the next few months. I'll be looking to see what they have
there. If I find the one I saw on the river I would post a link to it here
as well.

Thanks again, MH.

On my last fishing trip I saw a beautiful short handed fish net with the
built in scale (in the handle) to weight the fish right in the net. All
you do is raise the net with the trout above the water level, unscrew
handle/spring release and it will weight the trout without even removing
it from this handy fish net! Wow! Awesome fly fishing net! But where can
I buy one or order one? Anybody knows?

It comes with fine rubberized net and short stainless steel handle with
the mechanics inside the handle. The "Quick Unlock Screw" is right at the
back of the handle. After you're done weighing the fish, just submerge
and release fish unharmed. Than just push in the knob and give it a twist
to lock it the handle inside again. I think it was made in Australia or
new Zealand. However, I can't find it anywhere on the Internet. Sure
would like to buy one.

I found these, but nothing with a rubber mesh net...
