Designed for anglers who hike in, travel light, and still expect real performance, The Traveler Net is the most compact net in the Hancock Timbers fly fishing collection. It’s small enough to fit comfortably in a backpack or carry-on, yet strong and deep enough to confidently land good-size fish. This is not a novelty or decorative piece—it’s a purpose-built landing net for anglers who don’t want to leave quality behind.

Each Traveler Net is 100% handmade from solid hardwood, shaped and finished by hand one at a time. No two are ever exactly alike. The compact frame keeps weight and bulk to a minimum, while the deep, fish-safe clear silicone net provides reliable control at the water’s edge without snagging hooks or harming fish. It’s the kind of net you actually bring with you — because it fits, and because it works.

The Traveler Net was created for situations where space matters: hiking into remote streams, backpack fishing, road trips, and air travel. Bulky nets get left behind. The Traveler doesn’t. Despite its smaller footprint, it’s surprisingly capable and well-balanced, making it ideal for anglers who value efficiency, craftsmanship, and thoughtful design.

This net is the smallest in the Hancock Timbers Fly Fishing Net Collection, which includes three progressively larger nets designed for different fishing styles. The Traveler is perfect for mobility and travel, while the larger models offer increased reach and capacity for bigger water, boats, docks, and larger fish. Choose the size that fits how—and where—you fish.

Pricing for the Traveler Net starts around $150, with final cost depending on wood selection, design details, and optional customization such as engraving. Every net is made in small batches or as a one-of-a-kind piece, using carefully selected hardwoods and finished for durability and long-term use.

If you’re looking for a handmade fly fishing net that’s compact, capable, and built to last, the Traveler Net delivers craftsmanship you can feel and performance you can trust—wherever the trail or water takes you.
