Gift a fly box for Christmas
The fly fisher in your life is guaranteed to have multiple fly sets for all occasions. But how do they keep it all organised? The fly box is the perfect solution. You'll be surprised at how much care an angler will take sorting their flies correctly. It may be a box to you, but it's a delightful addition to a fly fishing enthusiast's setup.
Our Choice: Guideline Double-Sided Silicone Fly Box
Gift a fly set
Why not get a new fly set to go with the fly box above? You can never have enough flies, you see. Fly sets make wonderful budget-friendly stocking fillers, many coming in under the £10 Secret Santa limit too.
Fishing Gloves Make a Fantastic Christmas Gift
Fly fishing involves a lot of knot tying that requires precision. Regular gloves are often too bulky, lack grip, and make knot-tying stressful and frustrating. That's where specifically designed fishing gloves are essential.
Our Choice: Simms Gore Infinium Half-Finger Gloves
Tackle Bag
The tackle fishing bag is crucial for all anglers. These stylish bags store all the tackle and tools a fishing enthusiast needs on their adventure. They come in many colours and styles, but it's vital to find one with numerous compartments.

Treat them this Christmas to Fishing Waders & Boots Combo
Is there another piece of clothing that is indistinguishable for fishing? The waders are often the most exciting clothing attire for an angler. Not only do waders help you feel the part, but they are also paramount for any fishing trip as anglers spend so much time by and in the water. Match up with the ultimate fishing footwear and they’ll be no stopping them. Fishing boots are essential for offering adequate grip and durability for slippery rocks. These uniquely designed shoes not only will take the abuse anglers will put them through, but they look pretty good in the process.
Our Choice: Simms Freestone Stockingfoot Wader and Simms Freestone Wading Boots
Wading Jacket
And why not get a wading jacket to complete the set? They're perfect for keeping out the bitter cold and protecting anglers from the rain, making for a far more enjoyable fishing experience. They also can match the waders for the ultimate look.

Thermals make a fantastic Christmas gift for a fishing enthusiast
Thermals are a great Christmas gift for all anglers, whichever their preferred discipline. As these colder months roll in, thermals make all the difference. There is nothing worse than looking forward to a fishing adventure, packing all the gear, driving out to the perfect spot, and falling foul to the weather. The chill in the air freezes you to the bone and not only is it miserable, it makes actually fishing a struggle.
Our Choice: Simms Midlayer Thermal Top
Fishing Tools
Fishermen and women sure love a handy tool. Why not make their Christmas with a fishing combo tool designed to aid in all fishing situations, cut lines, tie knots, clean hook eyes, these crafty fishing tools are a game changer.
Our Choice: Loons Essentials Toolkit
