Are you looking for a gift for a fly fishing friend or loved one? We've got you covered with this Holiday Gift Guide for the Fly Fisher!
Abel Nippers and Lanyard; anytime Brandon is on the water, this combo is around his neck. These nippers and lanyard have lasted many a season and have many more left in them! Ours came from The Ashland Fly Shop, thanks guys!
Reeds Rod Wraps; these rod wraps help keep the rod organized for temporary storage (i.e. in the car) and are a great stocking stuffer for your favorite spey or single hand caster!
Patagonia Sunshade Hoody; this shirt is the BEST for sun protection in the summer and doubles as the perfect baselayer in the fall and winter. Available in both men's and women's, we couldn't recommend this shirt enough.
Dr Slick Mitten Clamp; winter is upon us, the water is cold and absolutely no one wants to have to take their mitten or glove off to fit their fingers in the standard scissor clamp. So we recommend the mitten clamp that functions great and allows your fingers to stay warm in-between the chromers.
Jefferson Fly Rod; we love supporting local, small businesses and we are fortunate enough to have an incredible rod company that is based out of White City, OR just minutes from the Rogue. The Jefferson Rod Co. makes exquisite single-hand and two-handed rods which we use almost exclusively. Brandon's favorite (at the moment) are a 1266-4 Spey Rod for two-hand casting and the 966-4 when guiding out of the driftboat.
Simms Wading Staff and Retractor; let's be honest, we have all wobbled our way through riffles or deep pools that we probably shouldn't have, sometimes we get lucky and other times we flood our waders or twist a knee; that's why we encourage the use of a Simms Wading Staff with Retractor, the quick release allows you to pull it out and use it in no time while the retractor clips in, making sure you can't leave it behind or watch it float downstream. The perfect sidekick for the Upper Sac!
PNW Landing Nets; these nets are the bee's knees. They are made using fish-friendly mesh that makes catch and release a much easier experience for the fish. We have the small and the large nets, while the medium size might just end up under our tree this year ; )
Orvis Battenkill IV; this little real has a big voice! Great click and pawl spey reel for the $. Works like a wonder on 11 -13 ft spey rods.
Last but probably the best gift you could give, $100 off of a full-day guided fly fishing trip with Worthington Fly Fishing. Give your friend or loved one the chance to catch the fish of their life!
You should be able find all of these items at your local fly shop and if they don't have them in stock they should be able to order them. We hope this list helps you find the perfect gift.
Have a Happy Holiday!
