Let's be honest, shopping for any anglers can be difficult because you don't want to get them something that they already have or get them an item of inferior quality to something that they may want. We've compiled this list of gifts which we would be more than happy to receive composed of items that will be appreciated by anglers of all levels.
One of those accessories that you finally break down and buy years into your journey of fly fishing, and the minute you use it you start to wonder why you never grabbed on earlier. These Buffs give the equivalent protection of a 50+ SPF sunscreen, something that those anglers that like to sneak out in the early morning are apt to forget. Sun Protection, Insect Bite Prevention, Cooling Technology all packed into one lightweight garment that you always wished you had, even if you didn't know it.
A lifesaver during the dog days of summer, a pair of neoprene wading socks let you escape the heat and get right into the water. Neoprene Wading Socks are normally the same size as the stockingfoot of waders which allows you to wade all year long in the same pair of wading boots without your boots knocking around loosely. If you've ever tried to just use your wading boots while only wearing a pair of socks you know that almost immediately you are bound to get pebbles and gravel in your boots, neoprene wading socks prevent all that while keeping your comfy.
Fishpond Headgate Tippet Holder
Easy to access when you need it most. If you're staring down leader-shy trout and need to move to a thinner diameter leader, the Fishpond Headgate Tippet Holder is there for you. The Headgate Tippet Holder is capable of packing in up to eight spools of tippet, enough to cover every situation you are likely to encounter on the water.
One thing anglers cannot have enough of is a nice fly box. No one puts together a better fly box than the fine folks at Tacky and Fishpond. These Tacky fly boxes are designed to pack all of the flies you could ever need for a trip with their ability to pack in more that 250 flies. With Tacky’s original, patented silicone anchoring technology and bi-directional slits lining both sides of the box, up to 360 flies fit right in the pocket of your wet wading shorts.
Large, durable hemostats equipped with a cutting edge to maximize versatility. Handles include comfy grip for added traction, even when wet. Rachet locking handles, Sharp cutting edge which is a Half smooth, half serrated jaw, and a hookeye cleaning needle.
Umpqua Rivergrip Big Nip Nippers
The extra large size on these nippers make them especially easy to use and the widened mouth means that your nippers won't be getting as dull as quick as a narrower pair of nippers.
We're big fans of the bright yellow finish on these as it reduces the amount of fumbling when you're searching for your nippers on your pack or waders.
One piece of kit that we find hard to live without once you own it. Saltwater guys will love this for finishing strong knots with some UV Knot Sense, Fly Tyers will use this frequently to add some flair to flies, and clumsy anglers will appreciate the Nano Light when combined with Loon Wader repair to extend the life of their favorite pair of waders or wading pants.
Our Basic Trout Assortment includes seven of the most popular and important flies for the trout angler. We have selected three dry flies representing a mayfly, a stonefly/hopper and a caddis, one soft hackle to imitate an emerging mayfly or caddis, two bead head nymphs for trout feeding on midges, mayflies and caddis, and a bead head bugger that represents minnows or leeches.
Trout anglers will certainly never say 'no' to the addition of flies to their boxes. The RIO Trout assortment consists of the most tried and true flies which have become timeless classics.
