One thing about fly tying that happens to all of us who dive into this hobby is that we quickly seem to have some of everything and at the same time never have exactly what we need. Gift cards are great because they allow a fly tyer to fill in the gaps with needed materials, but sometimes it's nice to wrap a gift with some substance to put under the tree. Here's our staff's top eight gift ideas for the hard to shop for fly tyer.
Hareline Fly Tyers' Thread/Spool Stash Box - $23.99
The perfect box for organizing a fly tyer's spooled materials - wire, floss, thread, tinsel and more! *Threads not included

Loon Bench Rings - $8.99 Materials look so great hanging on the wall in a shop, but most fly tying benches look like a bomb just went off. The Bench Rings solve that problem. The stainless steel rings allow tyers to organize materials, hooks and beads using the same bags they came in. The Assorted 3 Pack includes 3 Bench Rings that are 30cm, 40cm and 50cm long. The Small 3 pack includes 3 Bench Rings that are 10 cm long. |
