The Fishpond Nomad Yampa Guide Net 2.0 is purpose-built for guides and serious anglers who need extra reach, control, and durability when landing fish in challenging environments. Combining the proven Yampa hoop design with a full 29-inch extended handle, this landing net provides the leverage needed to reach fish from deeper water, around drift boat oars, or across large boulders when a clean landing matters most.
Crafted from Fishpond’s signature River Amor carbon fiber and fiberglass composite with Woven DuPont™ Kevlar® fiber reinforcement , the Yampa River Armor Guide Net delivers exceptional strength without unnecessary weight. The frame is waterproof, weatherproof, and fully buoyant, meaning it floats if dropped in moving water—an essential feature when working fast current or guiding clients.
The Yampa Guide Net comes equipped with a PVC-free TPU rubber net bag, a fish-friendly basket that is lighter, stronger, and more durable than traditional rubber or nylon nets. The TPU material stretches farther before failing while remaining gentle on fish, making it an excellent choice for catch-and-release trout fishing.
With its longer handle, guide-ready durability, and versatile hoop size, the Nomad Yampa Guide Net 2.0 is perfectly suited for walk-wade anglers, drift boat guides, and anglers fishing larger rivers or deeper runs where extra reach makes all the difference.
The River Armor Nomad Yampa 2.0 Guide Net is designed for anglers who push gear to its limits. This model features a protective wrap of woven DuPont™ Kevlar® fiber around the carbon fiber frame.
This added reinforcement dramatically increases impact resistance and structural durability, making the River Armor edition ideal for guides, rocky riverbanks, drift boats, and demanding fishing environments where landing nets see heavy use.
