Fishing gear can make great gifts for hard to shop for dads and husbands.  I used to work in an outdoors sporting goods store and was frequently asked what would be a good gift for a guy that loves fishing and the outdoors.  Of course, as there is almost no end to the gear made for fishing, there are countless gift ideas for the fisherman.  Below are some fishing related gift ideas that just about any fisherman would love.  I’ve attempted to provide a mixture of ideas ranging from the inexpensive to the extravagant and from utilitarian to purely decorative.  So, whether you are on a budget or want to get something for the fisherman that already has all they need you should be able to find something below.

Reviews of the gear and other fishing gift ideas are provided for most of the items, along with price information.  I hope you enjoy and find the perfect gift for your fisherman.

Fishing Journals

Of course, on the TroutFishingJournal.com we have to start the ideas off with a fishing journal.  There are a variety of fishing journals available, ranging from elaborate forms to blank slates.  Below are examples of different journals that would make great gifts.

The Rite in the Rain Journal price is $33 on Amazon.

Rite in the Rain Fishing Journal Kit
This is a great journal for the fisherman who is adamant about writing everything while its fresh in his mind. Its waterproof and includes a handy pouch for carrying the journal and other supplies.

A traditional looking journal with a price of $50.

Fly Fishing Journal With/photo Pages
This is one classy fishing journal. A great gift for any literate fly fisherman. The pages of this journal are even torn by hand to give a natural looking old timey feel. Spaces are provided for detailed information including:  name, address, phone numbers, e-mail address, family, friends, guides, shops, hotels, date, location, weather, moon phase, G.P.S., terrain, area, water condition, species, tag type, bait and lures, gear, weapon, rod and reel, water temp, flies and patterns, structure, decoys.

Trout Fishing Books

Trout: An Illustrated History

A great gift for the trout aficionado, particularly for those winter months when its too cold for fishing (if such a thing exists).  The incredible watercolor illustrations are by James Prosek who also wrote the book.  All 70 species of North American wild trout are depicted in this book.
