landing nets

Angler's mesh tools

A landing net is a small handheld net used by anglers to scoop fish from the water once they've been reeled in close.

The net prevents the fish from thrashing free at the last moment and reduces handling stress on fish intended for release.

He reached for the landing net as the trout surfaced.
