Guys (n Gals), I Need Your Help.......

[Gaffer]

A friend of mine wants to buy an Xmas present for a 'Fluff Flinger' , but, like me, has no idea what a Fly Fisherman would want.

 

So, what sort of consumables does a Fly Fisherman need (including fly tieing bits'n'bobs)?

 

I would really appreciate it if I could have an idea of what, where and how much for each item, if that's ok?

 

Many thanks in advance,

 

Garth.

look at:

This will give you an idea of items and prices, I think the current catalogue has a gifts ideas page.

Fly boxes never go amiss.

Garth,

 

Which type of flyfishing does this person do? It can make a big difference to what to buy them.

[Guest franticfisherman2]

It may be best to ask exactly what they want - it is easy to buy something that they already have or don't need. If it has got to be a surprise gift I would go along with Tony, fly boxes are always handy. A good one may be a dry fly box with compartments, they can be expensive and so more welcome!..........good luck with your choice.

You could try www.tacklebargains.co.uk they have a lot of good stuff there and good prices.....or you could buy a custom built rod from me for around £5000.00 LOL.........good luck mate :-)

As already suggested a good quality fly box with a dry fly compartment would make a welcome gift to any flyfisherman. Best of luck

A gift voucher is ALWAYS the safest bet............Collect from yolur local tackleshop or one of the online dealers....it's easy.

Garth, does he keep any fish for the table? My wife bought me a Hot Smoker last year, brilliant.Cooks fish in 15/20 mins. Could maybe use it at the bankside or like me when I get the fish home. Just a thought.

Not so good if you are driving home after fishing though Ian.

I would agree with the smoker, and it doesn't just work on fish
