The Best Magnetic Net Release for Fly Fishing
The moment a fish rises, the last thing you want to be doing is wrestling your net off a clip. The Umpqua DreamStream Magnetic Net Release solves that with a clean, one-tug release — pull your net and the magnets separate instantly. Re-attach is just as fast: bring the two pieces together and they snap back into place.
Whether you call it a fly fishing net clip, a net magnet, or a magnetic net release, this is the one guides and serious anglers reach for. We keep this stocked at basin + bend because it's the kind of small upgrade that makes a real difference on the water. At $13.97, it's one of the easiest wins in fly fishing gear.
Why the Umpqua Over Cheaper Alternatives?
- 8 lb / 3.5 kg magnetic hold — strong enough to keep your net secure through brush, current, and a full day of wading, but releases cleanly with a firm tug
- Aviation-grade aluminum construction — lightweight and built to outlast the cheap zinc versions
- Corrosion-resistant materials — handles saltwater, freshwater, and everything in between
- Streamlined shape — designed to prevent snagging on brush, line, and gear
- Carabiner + split ring included — clips to the D-ring on your vest, wading jacket, or pack
- Includes lanyard — ready to use right out of the package
Fits Any Fly Fishing Setup
This fly fishing net release magnet works with virtually any landing net handle and attaches to vests, packs, wading jackets, and lanyards. The carabiner end clips to your D-ring; the split ring attaches to your net handle. No tools, no fuss.
Color & Pricing
Available in Black and Red — both identical in function, both on sale from $19.99 retail.
The Perfect Small Gift for a Fly Fisher
If you're looking for a stocking stuffer or add-on gift for someone who fly fishes, this is it. Practical, well-made, and something they'll actually use every time they're on the water. Pairs well with a landing net or a new fly box.
