I use Airflo nets available from Tacklebargains - the tackle may be bargainsome but the postage is exorbitant!

I just bought a knotless replacement net from Snowbee http://www.snowbee.co.uk/fly-fishing/nets/
Cheap, decent quality and quick delivery.

I recently turned a cheap vintage landing net ebay purchase into a Venables style net. I went to a place near Frome (Somerset) and they made me a net to fit the rim while I waited all for £6.50 and Gary (the owner/manager) let me have the prototype for gratis. http://www.redportnet.co.uk/view.aspx

Very nice Weyfarer, what did you use to make the green spreader block?

I sawed a spare Drennan spreader down each of the two arms and tidied up with a Stanley knife, rasp and sandpaper - took me all day to get it right! I made an aluminium V shaped bracket to go on the inside of the hoop which helped keep things square and served as a kind of washer preventing the small brass nuts biting into the wood.
