Father’s Day Gift Guide

By Admin | June 13, 2023 |

BBQing is good. Streamside meals are great. Ties are neat. Fly tying is neater. Another tool could be cool. Tools of the trade are cooler. Father’s Day is Sunday, June 18, and our Guides have helped compile a Father’s Day Gift Guide to make your shopping easier.

This Father’s Day … give the adventure of the outdoors.

Gifts Under $50.00

  • The Ketchum Release Tools. Saves time in releasing the fish and saves flies, too. (Hans)
  • A New Buff. Start the season with a new buff for sun, wind, and bug protection. By the end of last season, your buff has suffered through sweat, sunscreen, dunks in the river, and has lost its stretchiness. New colors, new styles! (Karbo)
  • The Umpqua RiverGrip Tool Set. Can never have enough forceps (especially when you drop them in the river or on the hike out of Cheesman). (Ted)
  • Hats! Let Dad rep his favorite brand (Sage, Simms, Orvis and others!) or rep Angler’s Covey with a new lid. (Phil)

$51- $100 Gifts

  • The Tiemco Double Arm Bobbin. Great bobbin for Dads who tie. This so smooth and perfectly balanced. Definitely one of my favorite bobbins. (Hans)
  • Angler’s Covey Boat Fly Box. Pack those streamers in a waterproof box. I’m currently upgrading all my boxes to waterproof! (Ted)
  • The Kuhl Deceptor Pants. Stylish, lightweight, and suitable for wet wading or manning the BBQ. (Phil)
  • The Kuhl Renegade Shorts. These are my go-to shorts. I could definitely wear these everyday. They have plenty of out-of-the-way pockets are are like wearing a hug. (Jon)
  • The Orvis 201 Streamside Class. Is Dad just starting his fly fishing adventure? This 3-hour streamside class is a great way to change the learning curve and lay the foundation for many enjoyable days on the river. (Vince)
The Lamson Speedster S Reel is more than just good lookin’.

$101-$200 Gift Ideas

  • The Orvis Short Handle Net. This net is nice and compact but easily holds a 20+” fish. Great for fishing in the backcountry. (Hans)
  • Gift Card. Of course, you can get these in different amounts, but why not let Dad choose his favorite new piece of gear, apparel, or accesory? (Phil)
  • Sunglasses. Definitely my most important tool for fly fishing. Brighten Dad’s day with a new pair of Smith, Costa, or Bajio sunglasses. (Jon)
Enjoy a gourmet, streamside meal after a solid day of fishing with our Evenings on the River Guided Trip.

$200 and up Gifts

  • Mystery Ranch Coulie Backpack. This is perfect for day trips in to Cheesman Canyon or similar treks. It’s lightweight, comfortable, and has enough space to carry everything you need. (Hans)
  • The Lamson Speedster S. This great looking reel is a lightweight trout-stopper built to last a lifetime. (Juan)
  • Half-Day Guided Trip. Give the gift a morning on the river with one of our Orvis-endorsed Guides. Explore the local waters and learn the tactics to consistently catch more fish. (Phil)
  • Experiences and Adventures. Memories out live any piece of gear. Why not get Dad the experience he might not purchase on his own. We can fully customize a guided trip: half-day, full-day, lunch, private, public, or stillwater? For that special touch, our Evening on the River trip includes a half-day guided trip, 1:1 guide-to-client ratio, a 3-course gourmet streamside meal, and an unforgettable experience. (Jon)
