Wolf Moon is the name of my home studio in White Lake, Wisconsin. My husband, Bill Kallner, also operates another business here, Wolf Moon Nets.
I think Bill's nets are pretty enough to hang in the living room and we know they're tough enough to be used for years and then handed down to the next generation. While their elegant usefulness honors fishing traditions, these nets are designed to meet the practical needs of fishermen today, tomorrow and into the future. Each net bow is a bent by hand. Handles are custom fit to the bow, and many handles have decorative inlays in contrasting woods. The nets are lovingly finished for lasting durability, and feature fish-friendly soft, knotless sacks for catch-and-release fishing.
Bill and I spent more than 20 years as outdoor retailers and educators, operating a kayak and canoe school and store called Whitewater Specialty here on the Wolf River in northeastern Wisconsin. If you're one of the familiar faces from our Whitewater Specialty days, here's a great big hello to you. Thanks for the memories!
Bill and I still paddle for fun, he fishes a LOT more, I can do more gardening and gathering, and we get to spend more time with our families and friends than when we had a seven-days-a-week retail business. I travel around the country to teach, and when I'm home I create fiber art pieces for exhibitions and for sale. Bill makes these fine bentwood trout nets, which are sold in fly fishing shops around the country. Fiber arts and fishing both attract wonderful folks (and great storytellers). We're very grateful to the fly fishing dealers who sell Wolf Moon Nets, and for the great job they do helping people have fun on the water.
Life is good here on the Wolf River, and we feel lucky to be living in such a beautiful part of the world. We hope you get to visit here soon! In the meantime, if you see a Wolf Moon net in a fly shop (or better yet, on the water), you'll know part of the story behind the brand.
