I don't carry a net anymore. I know that, in the interest
of the fish I plan to C&R, I probably should but it's a
pain in the ass. I've tried carrying it on a big huge
Orvis zinger, on a "french clip", I've tried carrying it
handle side up, handle side down, I've even tried a big
honking piece of elastic rubber band over one shoulder
and under the other arm. Pains in the ass, each and every
one, the damn thing is always getting hung up and in the
way.

How do you carry a net ?

Attached to the back of my vest, handle down, using a quick disconnect at the
head. Just pull on the handle hard enough and the net pops free.

It rarely bothers me enough to not carry it - unless I know we're gonna be
into tiny - or freaky huge - fare...
