Not all fishing gifts are created equal. While singing bass and fish-themed aprons are cute, they’re not really going to get you on the water more or improve your angling game. Fishing types need to be showered with gear that will have them enjoying the sport even more than they already do.
We’ve put together an extensive list of gift ideas for the fishing fanatic in your life (and if that person is you, here’s to self-gifting). It’s made up of everything from helpful gadgets to wardrobe essentials that will keep you comfortable. There’s no guarantee that these things will increase the number or size of the day’s catch, but there’s a pretty good chance they’ll help the cause. If nothing else, the gifts will be both appreciated and well-used, as they’re useful for all ranks within the fishing crowd.
What’s more, these unique gift ideas transcend fishing itself. Sure, they’re tailor-made for trout hunters and bass slayers, but they also come in handy for all the related outdoors activities. So, pack them along on your next fishing day (or week), but keep them handy as they’ll likely offer standup service during your next camping weekend or day hike too.
Whether you’re keeping your catch or just need to chill down your lunch and some post-fishing beers, a cooler is a must. This one is great, sizable while portable. Better, it is extremely insulated and gets added design points.
Fishing often involves the in-between shoe, something you wear in between fishing boots and sneakers. The slide is that shoe, easy to throw on even when your feet are still wet. This pair is so comfy you may even want to wear them on the shore, fishing pole in hand.
Proper hydration is Fishing 101. This water bottle packs nicely, whether in a backpack or clipped to your angling vest. And it will keep things cold on the warm days and keep your hot drinks hot on the chillier outings.
The zinger is one of the best inventions in sport, essentially a small retractable leash for tools like clippers, forceps, and more. One is rarely enough, so stock up.
A good water shoe is light and breathable, just like this pair. You get rugged durability by way of sustainability, as a portion of the shoes are made from post-consumer products. You’ll never wear socks again.
Fly-fisherman know the importance of a good leader straightener. It keeps your line from folding up, meaning longer casts and better presentation of your fly or lure. This one is simple and easy to use, deserving of a spot in your vest.
As conditions warm, so too do water temperatures. Track it with a packable thermometer like this, which will give you a good read on how the fish are doing and how aggressive you should be fishing (if at all).
A classic vest like this offers a quick warm up for a morning or evening on the water. It won’t inhibit all the arm movement associated with fishing and it’s even water resistant, should things get splashy or it starts to rain. The pockets are a great refuge for cold river hands.
Bring comfort with you with this great utility chair. It folds up and carries easily, making it great for camping or the restless angler who goes from hole to hole.
Give the gift of a lucky fishing cap. This stylish offering is nautical themed and ready for the river, lake, bay, or creek. You may throw it on while on the water but chances are good it’ll stay on your head well beyond that.
Stanley has been outfitting folks for generations with dependable goods like this one. The iconic thermos has a handle, a cap that functions as a mug, and some of the best vacuum insulation on the market.
While fishing, it seem like you’re always in need of a blade. This knife doesn’t even weigh an ounce but is great for cutting line, undoing knots, and a million other things. Because it’s quite small, it can pack in your vest with ease.
Of the less expensive entry-level fly rods out there, L.L. Bean makes some of the best. The Quest is a four-piece dandy that packs well and casts even better. The graphite rod is ready to go, set up with reel, line, and backing.
Insulation is a big plus, especially when fishing in the cooler months. Sport these leggings beneath your waders or waterproof pants as you fish through the offseason.
This functional case is as strong as it is useful. Waterproof and crushproof, it’s a great place to store small valuables when you’re on the water. One more reason? It has a lifetime warranty.
A garment like this is great for sunny conditions, as it’ll keep you from having to apply and reapply sunblock all day. Light and made from recycled materials, it even features an extended collar built into the hood for maximum protection.
