Where to find?
I'm just returning to coarse fishing and, rods and reels aside, I need everything to fish. Optimistically I'm starting with a landing net and am wondering where to find something appropriate for river chub, barbel and carp? I like to be mobile so something foldable I can clip to a waistcoat would be ideal. Hope you can help ...

Re: Where to find?
Sounds like you need something like a Gye net. If you Google that you'll get various suppliers and sizes.
There are three things that improve with age: wine, friendship and water sense, and there's no short cut.

Re: Where to find?
The best place I've found for classic-looking, foldable, extending landing nets is Decathlon.
Whether they're a particularly 'continental' thing, like much of their gear, I'm not sure, but they often have them in stock.
Not just trout-sized ones, but nets big enough for larger fish like carp. This one has served me well for many years and still gets some use for mobile sessions.

Something like a Sharpes Belmont perhaps?
