The Gear Junkie
The Gear Junkie Collection by Trouts Fly Fishing.

Gear for the junkie who fiends for the latest and greatest!

We all know that person - the gear junkie. The person that knows every single detail about every last piece of gear known to man.

We're not calling anyone out here because hey, as fly shop employees, we're all sort of those people, too. We see nothing wrong with it. As those kinds of crazy gearheads, we've put together a collection of gifts that we would enjoy ourselves, so we know that the person in your life will, as well.

Nautilus X-Series Fly Reel

Smooth drag, bomb-proof construction, and fast line pickup. What more could you need in a fly fishing reel? The Nautilus X reel comes in four different sizes and in titanium or black anodized models.

Scientific Anglers Loaded Switch Tippet Holder

The best tippet holder on the market, in our opinion. Easily managed and prime for organization, this fully-loaded tippet holder is perfect for the fly fishing gear junkie in your life.

Simms G3 Guide Stockingfoot Waders

The Simms G3 are ultra light award winning fly fishing waders and are the best on the market. Their world-class warranty isn't so bad, either.

Scientific Anglers Banana Yellow Hand Towel

Bananas on a boat are bad luck in fly fishing... but a banana towel is always the right move.

Fishpond Stowaway Reel Case

If there's one thing we love, it's keeping our fly gear safe and secure. This large reel case does just that. Perfect for the fly fisher with a solid collection of reels!

The Fly Tying Enthusiast
The Fly Tying Enthusiast Collection by Trouts Fly Fishing.

Fly tiers, rejoice!

There are two types of fly fishers... those who tie, and those who do not. We're not saying one type is superior to the other (*cough, cough, it's the second type). However, we are saying that if you know someone that loves tying flies, or is even wanting to start down the deep, dark rabbit hole that is the fly tier's journey, this collection is for them.

If you're interested in a more curated collection of materials for specific fly fishing patterns, we can help there too. Give us a call at 303.733.1434 or drop by the shop and we'll help you choose the appropriate materials for the patterns you had in mind.


Renzetti Traveler 2000 Series Fly Tying Vise with Pedestal

Renzetti vises are made in the good ole USA. They're true rotary, which is a feature that we love. This fly tying vise is great for an experienced fly tier or someone looking to get into tying their own flies.

Fishpond Tailwater Fly Tying Kit

The Tailwater Fly Tying Kit by Fishpond is the best organizational tools for traveling with tying materials, or for even keeping a relatively "small" collection of tying materials organized. This fly tying kit is the perfect gift for the fly tier in your life.

Norvise - Standard Rotary Fly Tying Vise

If you're looking for a vise for an experienced fly tier, this is the vise for you. The Norvise is heavy-duty, and has some pretty cool features that make it one of the best vises on the market. Please note that the base for the vise is sold separately!

Loon Complete Fly Tying Tool Kit

Loon makes incredible fly tying tools. This complete collection of all the tools you could need is a great gift for someone starting out in the world of fly tying or even someone looking to upgrade their current fly tying tools. Featuring Loon's Ergo tool series from ergo bodkin to their killer hackle pliers amongst a host of others, this complete fly tying tool kit hits all the right notes.

Landon Mayer knows how to catch big trout. In fact, he does it for a living. Landon's Guide Flies book breaks down flies that are easy to tie, but are super productive, even for the pickiest of trout!

The Gentleman's Collection (or Gentlewoman's)
The Gentleman's Collection (or Gentlewoman's) by Trouts Fly Fishing.

Mmmm, yes Watson, I do say...

For that person in your life with a "refined" palate. You know the type.

The person that enjoys reflecting on ancient Greek philosophy with a glass of scotch in one hand, and a full-bent tobacco pipe in the other, while they lounge in a Victorian armchair in front of a roaring fire in the middle of their stately, fully-stocked library. This collection is for them. Well, we think it is, at least.

Us? We're partial to sleeping under the stars in the beds of our trucks after enjoying a cold Pabst Blue Ribbon (or many) at the end of a long day out on the river. To each their own, we suppose.


Orvis Superfine Glass Fly Rod

The Superfine Glass series by Orvis is an excellent value for those who enjoy a slower, more methodical life... or in their fly fishing cast. Made of fiberglass, this old-school rod is made for those looking to try something new or that already love glass fly rods.

Rep Your Water Crystal Old Fashioned Glass

Every Gentleman (or Gentlewoman) needs a crystal old fashioned glass, right?

Fishpond Bighorn Kit Bag - Peat Moss

Made of certified organic waxed cotton canvas, the Bighorn Kit Bag will withstand years of abuse. It's perfect for storing your gear on and off the river.

Ross Reels Colorado Fly Reel

The Ross Colorado is a click-and-pawl fly fishing reel. Basically, that means that there is no functional drag other than applied pressure with your hand. It doesn't get more throwback than that!

Reading Trout Water

Reading Trout Water is an absolute must for trout anglers. Think you know about reading trout water? Think again. This book is an incredibly useful read for those looking to step-up their trout fishing knowledge.

BALLER, SHOT CALLER... The World Traveler.

For the person in your life that you envy. The person that's always jet-setting around the world, chasing fish and adventure at every turn. They've got it all, but you still need to buy them a gift.

Don't worry, we've got you covered. These gifts are pretty special. They're amazing, in fact. There isn't a person in the world that wouldn't love every last gift in this collection.

If you're in the position we described, trust us. These fly fishing gifts won't let you down.

Abel Rove Fly Reel - Custom 7/9 Platinum

The Rover is the newest reel to grace us with its presence from Abel. Made in Colorado and boasting the best drag money can buy, this reel is a winner 100% of the time.

Scott Centric Fly Rod

The Scott Centric is an incredible rod. The latest and greatest from Scott fly rods, the Centric is fully-loaded with all of Scott's newest technology. Casting the Centric is a breeze, even with big flies. It's fast, but still maintains all the feel that we've been missing in modern, fast-action rods.

Fishpond Thunderhead Large Submersible Duffel - Eco

This thing is huge. It's also waterproof. It's big enough to get a person through a lengthy fishing trip and then some with room to spare. For the person constantly hitting the road to chase fish on the fly, the Thunderhead Submersible Duffel is the bag for them!

Orvis Helios 3D Fly Rod - Blue Edition

The H3 fly rod by Orvis has been a dominant force on the fly fishing rod market for a few years now, and that isn't going to change anytime soon. One of the best fast action rods that you can buy, the Helios 3D (Distance) won't disappoint.

Orvis Waterproof Boat Bag - Medium

If the World Traveler in your life has a boat or will be on a boat at any point in time, a waterproof boat bag is a must. The boat bag keeps all your gear safe and dry, and Orvis makes one of our favorite models on the market.
