Modern clear rubber netting often referred to and ghost nets, allows the angler to more easily land a fish due to the fact it is more difficult for them to see the net they are going into. Flies will not get hooked into these nets and potentially tear like mesh nets. Additionally, mesh nets have the ability to remove some of the fishes slim due to their abrasiveness, this is not the case with rubber nets. Overall these nets make landing, unhooking, and releasing the fish an easier and more pleasant experience for both the fish and the fisherman.
