The Heirloom Landing Net
Story & Inspiration
The Heirloom is built for the kind of fishing that shaped my life — small, high-country streams reached on foot or horseback, days spent with my dad, my best friend, and later my spouse. This design grew directly from my participation in the Flyathlon, where I needed a net that was truly lightweight, easy to carry, and simple to stow while covering miles of backcountry water. Created as the more compact companion to the Legacy, The Heirloom is made for anglers who value mobility, simplicity, and time spent on quiet tributaries.

Summary
Handmade in Colorado’s San Luis Valley, The Heirloom is a small-stream companion meant to be carried deep into the backcountry, trusted on long days, and eventually passed on — proof that the best gear becomes part of the story.
