The Goodwin Landing Net is inspired by Goodwin Stream in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of Southern Colorado, where my father introduced me to fishing and a lifelong passion was born. This magical spot, with its beaver ponds teeming with Brook trout, became a cornerstone for family memories, culminating in a final trip in 2018 to capture photos and stories before my father’s passing. Designed as the ideal Brook Trout stream net, the Goodwin features a triangular frame with rounded corners (11-12 inches per side) crafted from three layers of 1/8-inch hardwood, steamed, glued, and bent into shape. Finished with tung oil, spar varnish, and a rubber net for fish safety, each net includes brass fittings, a durable D-ring, and a comfortable hardwood handle with brass pins for catch measurement. Handmade in my shop in Colorado's San Luis Valley, where some of the state’s finest trout waters flow, every net is a one-of-a-kind heirloom with unique wood grain, blending functionality with a timeless design for creating lasting fishing memories.
