The mesh backing to keep 'em cool, and various tool attachment points for retractors and tippet holders, the Tenderfoot Vest is no ‘toy' and a great starter vest for all their fishing adventures. Sage Pulse Fly Rod This is a great step-up from an entry rod to put into anyone's hand and grow with them in their journey. With a backbone constructed from Graphite IIIe technology the Pulse is light, powerful, and durable. You may find you'll "borrow" this rod because it's such a joy to cast and does it all. Sage Spectrum C Reel An affordable reel to pair with any rod, a great grow-with-me with out losing quality or going over budget. Equipped with the SPECTRUM Family One Revolution Sealed Carbon Drag and unexpected finishing touches like its fully machined drag knob and handle. Fishpond Nomad Native Net The Nomad Native Net from Fishpond is the perfect light net choice for our young ones, winning in the durability category. It also features the same clear rubber net bag, for teaching our kids about safe handling of fish. The Native net floats high in the water, making it easier to retrieve it when dropped, and the RiverKoat rubberized coating on the handle improves your grip when your hands get wet and slimy. Another great grow-with 'em choice. Tacky Daypack Fly Box Perfect size for the start of their own fly collection. Simms Tributary Stockingfoot Youth Wader Because the next generation deserves a wader that charges as hard as they do, we built our kids Tributary Stockingfoots to the same high standards you'll find in our award-winning adult waders.

Simms Sunrise Tunic - Flannel Your new go-to Flannel from wading the river to warm and cozy by the fire. Simms Merino Thermal OTC Sock Merino wool naturally wicking, with a reinforced heal and toe this is a great heavyweight sock.

Something everyone will enjoy: Pocket Guide to Western Hatches The Pocket Guide to Western Hatches is the ultimate reference on hatches and flies for anglers who fly fish for trout in the Rocky Mountains Fishpond Nomad Emerger Net If you're looking for a net with a little more reach than the standard hand net without moving up to a large boat net, the Fishpond Nomad Emerger Net is the obvious choice. This fly fishing landing net features an 18 inch long basket and a 13 inch handle, offering plenty of room to fit a trophy and over five extra inches of handle to increase the reach. Galvan Torque Reel The Torque fly fishing reel is the workhorse of the Galvan lineup. Featuring the solid Torque drag system for maintenance free, self-lubricating, and near-frictionless performance. GLoomis Asquith Fly Rod If an angler could only own one GLoomis, this is our pick. Designed by world casting champion, Steve Rajeff, this rod boasts superb power transfer from tip to hand, quick recovery, and increased sensitivity. With fast actions, generous power levels, titanium guides, and exceptionally light swing weight, all rods in the series excel in fishing situations where developing high line speed and making precise casts means success. Still not sure what to pick? A Fishwest Gift Card is a great option for filling any wishlist item - they can be used towards any product, instructional classes or Fishwest guided trips. Wishing you and your family Happy Holidays & from all of us at Fishwest, Merry Fishmas!!
