Don’t Use a Net in Stream Fishing
The angler will save himself much trouble and annoyance by forgetting to bring a landing net. The use of a net on small trout is at best of questionable propriety or necessity—something like using a ten-gauge on rail—and on the brushy mountain stream it is the most versatile trouble maker you can have along. A very playful little trick of the net fitted with an elastic cord is to catch on a branch, stay behind you to the elastic limit of the cord when you move along, then break loose and snap forward into the small of your back with considerable velocity and no little penetration. The smashing effect, however, is usually upon the net ultimately. Instead of the net carry a little pocket-axe; it is far more useful.
