Gift with fishing rod

Holiday Gift Guide

Curated gifts for all anglers


Whether you're shopping for a seasoned traveler or someone just learning to cast, we have suggestions for the ultimate holiday gift. Browse below to see some of our favorites, or stop by the shop to get expert advice. 

For long days on the river - Turtle Box Speaker

Feel comfortable bringing music anywhere with the water-proof (and drop-proof) Turtle Box speaker. Ideal for long floats on the water and even longer nights in camp, Turtle Box can blast more than 25 hours of tunes on a single charge. 


From the back of a tailgate to the deck of a drift boat, Turtle Box speakers are the best in the game.

For the newcomer - Orvis Clearwater Outfit

You've had your first experience fly fishing and you're hooked. Now what? 


Putting together your first kit can be confusing and expensive. Luckily, Orvis offers the perfect package. The Clearwater Outfit comes with a 5-wt rod and a large arbor reel that's already spooled with backing, fly line, and a leader. Everything comes in a case, and is ready for you to get out on the water immediately!


Just because this package is great for a beginner doesn't mean it's not high quality. Orvis offers a 25-year warranty on this setup, and the rod is more than adequate for catching fish long past the beginner phase. 

For perfect vision - SMITH Guide's Choice

Besides a rod and reel, anglers know that the most important piece of fishing gear is almost certainly a pair of high quality shades. Whether you're offshore fishing bluewater or stalking a creek at twilight, sunglasses are essential for reading the water and catching fish. 


The Guide's Choice features SMITH's signature ChromaPop polarized lenses and offers anglers a wrap-around fit that completely blocks out direct sunlight.

For cold days on the water - Filson Beanie

Arizona might be known for its heat, but anyone who's spent a winter fishing our canyons and high country knows it can get pretty darn chilly.


Filson's wool cap is the perfect way to stay warm on the water (and look great while doing it). Crafted with the same quality that's made Filson products famous, these beanies are made with 100% wool, which continues to provide insulation even when wet. The thick stitching is extremely comfortable and makes for the perfect cap on the water and off. 


For the world traveler - SIMMS Tailwind Luggage

Have big travel plans in the new year? Before hitting the road or boarding a plane, you'll want to make sure your luggage is up for the journey as well. 


Simms' Tailwind luggage series is built for your wildest adventures. From roller bags and duffels to secure rod and reel storage, the Tailwind series has you covered. Designed with weatherproof exteriors and quality components, these bags will be with you for the long haul.

For the Backpacker - Colter Backcountry Thorofare Net

Love hiking to hard-to-reach water but hate having your net snag on every branch? Try Colter Backcountry's new Thorofare Net. Lightweight and collapsible, these nets are easily stowed in a pack and built for your next adventure.


Backed with a lifetime guarantee, Thorofare Nets are the perfect tool for fishing the miles of backcountry water that run through Arizona!

For that special "hard to shop for angler" - Pheasant Tail Gift Card

We all know fly anglers can often be picky. If you don't know the difference between tippet and leader or can never remember what weight fly line your special someone asked Santa for, it's never a bad idea to give them a gift card! 


Use your gift card to shop online or stop in the store to get our expert opinion on all things fly fishing.

For those who spend looong days on the water - Simms Dry Creek Z Backpack

Sure, a fishing pack is nice, but for those who spend hours and hours on the water, sometimes you need a bit more. The Simms Dry Creek Z Backpack has enough room for all the adventure essentials: food, water, extra clothes, and lots of fishing gear.


Our favorite part of this rugged pack? It's 100% submersible and will keep your gear dry through a dunk in the river or a heavy downpour. The padded straps are extremely comfortable, even after hours of wear. Hold your essentials in the removable waistbelt, stow your net in the integrated net holder and you're ready to fish!

For anyone who fishes - Stocking Stuffers

Whether you're targeting tarpon or trout, there are certain supplies that all anglers need. If you're looking to top off a stocking or add something small to a gift, shop our large selection of tippet, leaders, indicators, and accessories.
