If they’re just getting started, this a great complete setup – all you need is some flies and you’re ready to fish. I string up a few of these on float trips so I have a hatch rod and a streamer rod ready to go.
I prefer a sling pack over everything else if I’m covering a lot of ground on the big rivers out west.
The first time your buddy whips in the face with a fly, you’ll understand why guides wear big fat glasses that cover a lot of their face.
It’s so nice having your tippet all in one place and easy to get to. This is a great gift for the fly-fisherman that truly has everything.
Fly Fisherman always need more leaders. Buy a few packs and use them as a stocking stuffer.
I will always have a good set of fishing pliers with me when I’m on the water. They’ve saved many days and make everything easier.
Another great gift for a Fly Fisherman. I like to have a pair of nippers on every bag I fish with so I don’t have to move them.
Great gift, unless you lose a net, it will last a lifetime. Most people won’t spend the money to get a nice net, so getting one as a gift makes it special.
Cliff Boxes are what you’ll find in your guides bag. They’re built well and stand up to the beating every day fishing gear takes.
If you look around our site, you’ll see that I include Chacos on most of my outdoors lists. I believe in them that much and wear mine every day in the summer.
Every fisherman needs a decent set of waders. If they fish a lot waders get ruined, so having a new pair is always welcomed.
Wading Boots are an essential piece of fly fishing gear. Make sure you get rubber soles and not felt.
I can fish for hours and still be warm on cold days with my ninja suit. Paired with waders and a puffy jacket, I’m usually good until temperatures start hovering around freezing.
Everyone needs a puffer. They’re the ultimate layering jacket and unless it is raining, my puffer ends up being my every day jacket as well.
A really good quality rain jacket is another one of those things that people just don’t seem to spend money on, until they have one and then they realize what they’ve been missing.
