Fish Measuring Device?

[rainylakefisher]

I fished with a guy that had a light, flexible plastic tray used to measure the length of fish. It was durable, easy to use, and accurate as the fish's nose slid up against the edge. I haven't been able to find it anywhere including the bid C and GM. Anyone know who makes it or where to buy it?

There are other, similar models, but the one I'm looking for was deeper, and seemed more durable than a version available at the big C. I know I could make one out af PVC or a piece of gutter, but this was really slick and I'm surprised I can't find it.

I think I have seen some at L and M. Where are you located?

You are talking about the Hawg Trough. They are nice!

Yup, Hawg Trough! I have one and it works great.

Thanks for the quick responses, but it's NOT a Hawg Trough. They had those at Ca Bellas, but the one I'm looking for is deeper and made out of a more flexible plastic. I didn't think the Hawg Trough would hold up as well and the fish is a lot more likely to flop out.

You can take a length one from of flexible roof eves trough, cap it and add a adhesive measuring tape top and bottom. They make for a good measuring device, cheap and easy to make.

Gander normally has them. I use ther handle on my Bid Dipper scoop.

What I did was use a chunk of plastic house gutter with an end cap and get one of those fish measuring tapes with the sticky back and stick it to the inside of the gutter. Works great and very inexpensive, works the same as the ones sold in a store, just my 2 cents.
