Fishpond Nomad Yampa Guide Net 2.0 – River Armor Edition
Built for guides and anglers who need reach without giving up control, the River Armor Edition Fishpond Nomad Yampa Guide Net 2.0 takes the proven Yampa hoop and pairs it with a full 29-inch handle for walk-wade days and boat work alike. That extra length gives you the reach to net fish cleanly from deeper water, around oars, or over a boulder when the scenario calls. Waterproof and buoyant, the Yampa Guide Net is ready for any environment while maintaining a slim profile that stays out of the way when you’re on the move. In River Armor 2.0, the frame is wrapped in a layer of woven DuPont Kevlar® fiber for enhanced durability. It comes standard with a TPU net bag that’s lightweight, harder to break, and stretches farther before failing than comparable nets tested the same way.

William Clark –
Used this net during a multi-day river trip and found the 29-inch handle to be a game changer. It reached over rocks and deeper water without losing control. The Kevlar frame held up well even when dragged across rough terrain. The TPU bag stayed intact after several drops and exposure to rain.
Theresa Bell –
As a guide on a remote river, I needed something reliable and durable. This net performed consistently in wet and windy conditions. The slim profile doesn’t interfere with wading, and the buoyancy helps keep it afloat when dropped in water.
Alexandra Underwood –
Good reach and solid build. The net bag is sturdier than expected and holds up well during transport. Slight stiffness in the handle when first used, but it breaks in after a few uses.
Matt Robertson –
Perfect for fishing in tight spots or around oars. The Kevlar layer prevents scratches and dents. I’ve used it in both boat and wade scenarios and it’s proven reliable in all conditions.
