It can be tough getting a gift for a fly angler. So tough in fact that I’ve already written a whole article on the topic to make it easier for everyone involved. (Read: “How To Make Every Angler Happy This Holiday” here). In case you want to get something else for your favorite fly angler, we’ve gathered up the greatest hits from the Postfly shop and laid them all out below. It’s easy to shop for everyone on your list (yes, even yourself) when you know your options.
What To Get Your Friends
Fishing gear, especially fly fishing gear, can be a personal thing. The brand of waders you like, the flies you throw, the action of the fly rod you love, it all says something about your personality and the way you like to fish. Sure you could probably get close to what your fishing buddies want, especially if you spend hours and hours on the water with them, but there’s always a chance you’ll get something they won’t use.

To help with that, there are a few easy gifts you can be confident that they’ll love. Take gifting a fly box to the next step and get a Loaded Tacky, 88 trout flies packed into Tacky’s silicon flybox, perfect for the angler that is always out on the water, or the one that’s just getting their start and needs to fill up their stash.
Something that’s even better than a loaded flybox though is a box of flies sent to your door every month. Gift a Postfly Subscription and we’ll take care of the rest, sending essential gear that every fly angler needs every month. It’s a gift that truly keeps on giving, and giving and giving…

Our Signature Tyer series boxes feature the highest quality flies around, tied by that artists of fly fishing, the guys that are magicians of fur and feathers. Each box in the series is targeted at a specific species, sometimes themed to make a certain tactic more effective during the right time of year.

The best thing to get a fly angler, if you’re not going to give them gear, is apparel, but apparel they’ll actually wear. We’re a funny bunch in that we want to show off our fly fishing pride every single chance we get. On our off the water, the clothes we wear should be covered in fish art, comfortable enough to wear on the water and completely badass. Postfly’s Apparel is exactly what you’re looking for.
