It's nearly Christmas and many of us are trying to think of that perfect, unique and very special gift. What about the fly fisher on your list??? Well there is always a new rod or reel -- fly tying materials or equipment -- maybe a trip to an exotic fly fishing destination -- a great video or book -- or even a guided day on the river or lessons on casting or fly tying. There are lists and lists of ideas on various fly fishing websites and forums.

But what about a piece of jewellry. Just quickly going through a list of items found after entering "fly fishing jewellry" on the Net you can come with a myriad of items. There are pendants with dancing trout. Or rings of fly fishers. Or various fish species. Or different trout and salmon flies. There are even ear rings made out of flies. And tie clips also made out of flies. There are cufflinks and money clips with fly fishing inspired provenance. Not to forget watches with fly fishing scenes. You can even give engraved fly tying boxes or rods or even reels -- not to mention any number of other "personalized" fly fishing related items such as fly boxes or wallets and pouches for leaders or flies.

So Christmas giving for fly fishers can be very interesting to say the least -- even that special fly (that caught that one huge fish) to grace your ear lobe.

Tight Lines,

Tried wearing a fly as an earring once, very painful as I didn't have any piercings beforehand.
