Here is one of the most practical inventions when it comes to on-stream gear. Luckybur’s brilliant Belt Fly Rod Holder holds your fly fishing rod (or a spinning rod) when you need your hands free. And those times are many: changing the rigging, changing the fly, adding a tippet, untangling messes, unhooking a fish, holding multiple rods at a time, using your phone, taking a picture… This awesome gadget is a real treasure, it is like having an extra hand when you need it most. It secures easily to a wading belt or pants belt, and it comes in left and right-handed versions.

Here is an original and super-useful gift for any fly fisher, especially those having a bit of a struggle with close-up tasks. This awesome gadget, with its 3X precision lens, provides super-clear vision, even for the tiniest details. No need for bifocals or weird-looking magnifying gimmicks. It easily clips on anywhere: chest pack straps, wader straps, sling packs, hats... A truly great tool to have on the river. Helps with tying on small flies, threading a tippet through an eye of the hook, inspecting the insects and so much more. It rotates 90°, swivels 360°, and locks out of the way when not in use for maximum versatility. This great tool even comes with a bonus magnet for the “on deck” flies. Bottom line, MagniFly is the ultimate in convenience when it comes to magnifying fly fishing tools.

If you want to get an original and super intuitive gift for a fly fisher, Amadou Patch is your perfect choice. This little gadget used for drying flies is lined with Amadou, a really magical, natural material with amazing water-absorbing qualities. Amadou, made from a tree fungus, has been used by fly fishermen for centuries and is the quickest and most natural way to dry flies on the water. It is essential for dry fly fishing as it absorbs water from a soaked fly, restoring its ability to float. Bound with veg-tanned leather and handmade in Canada. Made fully from natural materials. A really unique and beautiful gift for any avid fly fisher, especially the ones that prefer dry fly fishing.

Fly fishers treat their flies with uttermost respect. Flies are one of the most important pieces of the quest for that perfect catch. Why not get them a gift that will protect their treasures.
