So with the holiday season approaching fast. What are the must haves for the avid fisherman?
What will you be asking santa for, big or small, let's hear it all!
I know i'll be asking for a new pair of forceps and a fishing magazine subscription.
-
seeing as my other half wont buy me fishing stuff anymore that caused me to turn into santa for myself. this year i bought my self a switch rod setup
Beulah 7/8wt 11' rod
Lamson Guru reel
Airflo 540 grain shooting and Guideline running line
everything all together ran me about $800 ;D and that was because rod was half price. cant wait until i get an xmas steely on it now ;D
Oh ya and i also got xmas presents from the fly shop because my warranty stuff al came back in the last 2 weeks
-
Hook you and I are the same I am getting a new fishing jacket. ;D

-
wow, im jealous. Everyone is getting such nice things
-
All rich and lucky you..
Basically my sportfishing was not supported by wife. Hopefully I will be deprived of fishing right if spend more dollars. :'(
-
Well this year will be the first year with out any fishing gear. All I want is my niece to be out of the ICU at childrens. Going to be a tough christmas this year thats for sure.
-
Geff, I'm familiar with the childrens ICU and wishing your niece all the best.
I plan to shortly take a trip to my local fishing shop and scout out a few things that I will then pass on to my wife as possible gifts. I'm interested in a lighter coho oriented drift rod, and a wading jacket to replace my old raincoat.

Get the 330GTi- my second trip I saw a 320 near spooled by a 6 footer.
Myself, I'm hoping for another waterproof digital (super) tough camera... but I doubt it.
-
I am asking Santa for lots of steelhead this winter.
Got all the gear I need already. ;)

I just found out i might get some new waders from "someone"... looking at either Simms G3's or Headwater...
-
just want to wish i could get my school works done faster so i'll have more time fishing
:P
-
Sure would like some of them Dan Bailey cleats or maybe a nice wading staff.

Hey Fisherforever I'm in the same boat as you. Not divorced yet but separated since May '09. I'm bringing my own Christmas joy this year. ;D I just bought an 13' 8/9 wt spey rod with an Okuma Sierra 10/11 reel. I just have to put an Airflo ridge running line on it with a Scandi head and Skagit Compact head. I am also eying up an Islander Steelheader with a Trophy XL 11'3" rod. For my stocking I think I'll throw in a few lines. Cortland Steady Sink type 3 and type 6 as well as a Rio indicator dry line. I think that should do it for my retail therapy this holiday season. ::) Oh yah almost forgot. A Panasonic TS1 camera.
-
I got my Xmas early this year too.
11 ft Flyfisher all pimped out for the lakes.
Good luck to your niece Geff.
Wishing her all the best.
-
Man, I love to fish but I don't place a a high value on all the gear that you boys do. My workhorse spinning rod is 23 years old and go-to driftfishing rig is 15+ years old.
My Fishmas gift however will be the used breathable wading jacket that I bought 2 weeks ago.
-
Good luck to your niece Geff.
Wishing her all the best.
Thank you Bruce. She is a fighter thats for sure

-
Hopefully I get to replace my waterproof jacket which is now a water magnet. Hinted the wife with one of these.

if you really want hand warmer pockets i would steer clear of the Cabelas jackets :( read the reviews about them. Im getting a wading jacket sometime next year but im ponying up the bling for a Simms one cause i want it to last.
-
I'm hoping for a vest from someone this xmas. my gift to myself so far has been a cp rod and all the tackle i've bought for steelhead season
-
Got my new 5" bushing Campbell center pin from Gary at Riverside Today. Best customer service around hands down!
