Fly Fishing Gifts

Are you looking for the perfect gift for the fly fisher in your life?  There are many options you have when giving a gift to the person who loves fly fishing.  Some of them can be expensive, but they don’t have to be.  You can choose a gift that your fly fisher will love no matter what your budget is.

One option is to get them a new rod and reel.  This is going to be one of the more expensive options as reels can run anywhere from $200 to $1,000.  Buying a rod can be a very personal decision for people who love fly fishing, so if you’re going to go this route with your gift, you’ll need to do your research.  

You could purchase a gift certificate to your local sporting goods or fishing store.  This is a great choice for the fly fisherman as then they can pick out what they want or need.  While some people feel gift certificates are impersonal, they can be a very welcome gift to the fly fisher.

Consider getting a nice basket and filling it up with various fly fishing supplies.  You can stock it with various flies, lines, and tools that your fly fisher can use during their fishing trips.  If you’re not sure what types of flies and such to stock the basket with, just ask the clerk at the store, or simply go hog wild and pick out a nice variety.

There are other beautiful gifts you can get as well.  People who love fly fishing have a natural love of the outdoors and everything “fishy”.  The organization Trout Unlimited has a great selection of fly fishing gifts including mugs, glasses, shirts, and hats with fish pictures on them.  This can be another great gift idea.

Fly fishing apparel is just as important to the fly fisherman as the equipment they need.  Fly fishing requires waders, vests, and boots.  A good fly fishing vest can make a very thoughtful gift.  Most fly fishermen claim you can never have too much equipment.  Even if your fly fisherman has a vest, a new one might be just the ticket for a good gift.

When giving a fly fishing gift, use your imagination.  There are all sorts of great gift ideas that can please even the most experienced fly fisherman.  Ask him or her what they are wishing for and then fill that wish.  You have lots of options.  When giving a gift, it’s the thought that counts, of course, but when you consider all that’s involved in the sport of fly fishing, you’re sure to find a gift that’s more than appreciated.
