Default Salmon landing net recomendations

Looking for a salmon landing net that clips easily into the d ring on the back of a fly vest, and more importantly is easily removed in the panic which follows a hook up !! I've looked in some shops but the catch or hook on the nets look complicated to remove from a d ring with one hand etc.....I'm sure there must be a very good one out there somewhere....and recomendations pleasehttp://www.flyforums.co.uk/images/smilies/thumbs.gif

I use the older non extending version of this one. Mine has a simple clip that slips over the D Loop. I assume they haven't changed it

The Maclean nets are the best by a MILE, lightweight, easy to use, and you can weigh your fish. Trust me, i've used loads of nets and these are the best.

Buy British, treat yourself to a Whitlock Gye net, not cheap but quality!
