Magazine subscription

For stocking stuffers, toss in a colorful assortment of lures, lines, hooks, and
sinkers. Hang a new stringer along the tree or from the mantle. Attach fishing
gear along the clasps.
include a fillet knife, fillet board, seasoning, bread crumbs,
cookbook, or handwritten family recipes.
Hooked on a book
There are enough books on fishing to fill your local
lake, let alone a section of the nearest bookstore. Try to
personalize the genre. Do the anglers nearest and dearest
to you fish for trout or muskies? Would they prefer
more technical books on fly fishing or lure making? Is
there a certain body of water they hold dear, such as
the Susquehanna River? There is a " just right " book for
all anglers. When in doubt, go with outdoor humor by
Patrick McManus.
Stocking stuffers
Fill a fishing themed item, say a net or wading boot, with
an assortment of fishing gear. Toss in a colorful assortment
of lures, lines, hooks, and sinkers. Along the same line, hang
a new stringer along the tree or from the mantle. Attach
fishing gear along the clasps.
Fishing hat
Every self-respecting angler needs a respectable fishing
hat. One may want to have a pulse on the angler's sense
of fashion. A safe bet is a high-quality and comfortable
baseball style cap. Nearly every trusted fishing brand offers
one. Refrain from Santa hats.
Cheesy t-shirt
I do not care how silly some of these shirts read, the
angler receiving the gift will smile. Examples include, but
are not limited to...
" I Catch More Fish Than My Dad! "
" Grandpa's Lil' Fishing Buddy! "

doctor and dentist offices to realize fishing
magazines are quite popular. Renew an

The staggering selection for rods and reels
may be daunting. Not sure to trust " Eeny,
meeny, miny, moe " with the ultimate decision? I suggest
secretly sneaking out a rod and reel combo the angler currently
uses. Most anglers would agree having a quality backup rod is
convenient. Many applications, such as trolling or casting two
types of lures, lend themselves to numerous rods.
Fishing license
Just in time for holiday shopping, fishing licenses go on
sale December 1. Purchase a fishing license or gift voucher
as a holiday present. Have the recipient's information
readily available for the clerk behind the desk who
recently survived Black Friday.
Follow the above suggestions, and there will be no catch
and release with presents this Christmas-no gift receipt
needed. Happy Holidays!
