The Legacy Landing Net
Story & Inspiration
The Legacy is a revival of a design I inherited from my wife’s uncle, George — a piece of craftsmanship that predates Rustic Angler Forge itself. After my first flyathlon, I saw the need for a nimble, lightweight net that could be carried easily into the high country, stowed in a pack, or taken on horseback trips into small tributary streams. The Legacy blends that inherited design with the way I fish today.
