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. Talk to the persone you are buying for and get ideas about what their prefernces would be for the ideal fly rod or fly reel.

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. Most fly fishers have very definite oppinions about the equipment they use, so a gift certificate to their favorite fly shop is a great choice.

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. If you are at a fly shop, the people there will be familiar with the needs of your fly fisher and can recommend items that will be great for the waters that they fish most. This give you the chance to give a gift that they will use and love.

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 great gift.

Another great gift idea might be a waterproof digital camera. Since most fly fishers have that love for the natural beauty of the outdoors and nature, what could be a better gift then a camera for them to record the natural beauty of the outdoors and share it those times with their friends and family. A couple of years ago my family surprised me on my birthday with a new fly tying desk that I had been drooling over for quite some time. This was a gift that I loved and use all the time.

When giving a fly fishing gift, use your imagination. Great gift ideas that can please even the most experienced fly fisherman are unlimited. 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!
