Default Replacing wooden landing nets

The net on my wooden landing net is in tatters and requires renewing. Has anyone done this themself and is it quite straightforward?. Who supplies them and do they come with instructions or is there a link on the web I can look at?
Thanks
ST

There are lots of suppliers, just google replacement trout nets bags or similar. Its very straight forward to replace one, basically by copying how it was already fitted.

I don't know if these net bags are carried in the UK but the easiest replacement is a Measure Net. Go to the bottom of the page at the URL and see the replacement net bags.

You measure the circumference of your net and order the correct size. Cut off the old net bage and the replacement bag zips on. There is nothing to lace onto the frame.
