So what did Santa bring you to help catch a fish??

[Gizmo Man]

Time to brag what Santa brought you to help you catch the big one.

I got some new neopreme waders, a scale and a new out Or. out of state fishing license.

Merry Xmas

Santa brought this happy flyfisher a one-of-a-kind, hand-painted fly box. He must be violating some child labor laws up there at the pole, because a 2 yr. old elf named Sofia and a 4 yr. old elf named Lucio did the work...

I got a Motion Marine tray-mount garbage can with cutting board lid and plug cutter attached :shocked:

Also a Loomis 9' for 5wt blank that I get to tie up for someone I love, and I got myself a 14' Farlowe spey rod.

That's a great box! All my fly boxes are well worn aluminum or plastic. Nothing made with love by my kids. I'm jealous!

As far as fishing gear for Christmas: it seems everyday is Christmas for me as far as getting fly gear! My wife says the last thing she will get me for Christmas is more flyfishing gear :noway:!

I did buy my son some new Simms wading shoes...

150 corkies for dental fishing :jester: :jester: :laugh: :laugh: I never use a leader longer than 2ft. 6 bags of glowbug yarn
Owner hooks

It's time to fish. Going to hit the Kalama and Lewis on Tuesday. Please let me land a steelhead!

Okay, okay! I got some fleece bibs for wearing under my waders and some flannel pjs with fish on them!

Are you happy honey? Can I now sleep in the bedroom tonight?

[Gizmo Man]

Good one Andy!!! :applause: :applause:

In the couple weeks before Christmas, I accidently left a few small hints lying around... a reel circled in a GI Joes ad, some stuff in an Orvis catalogue, etc.. Well, about a week ago, Mrsnorthfork (aka northforkgonesouth as she claims her ifish name would be if she had one) looks at me with about as serious a look as I've ever seen her muster and she says emphatically, "I am not buying you any fishing gear for Christmas." Well, apparently stuff for the driftboat doesn't count as fishing gear because she surprised me at the in-laws with a sweet set of oars. :flowered:

Wife bought me to my surprise a very nice assortment of tying materials from cabelas. Luckily she knows her fair share about tying...


She also bought me some Patagonia Capilene undergarments for those cold mornings...and a nice pair of polarized glasses....thanks baby!!!

[Catch 22]

Wow. This thing holds a lot of stuff. Thanks dad!! :dance:

Dyna-king Barracuda Vise
Filson Raincoat
Spey Casting by Simon Gawesworth
So it was a pretty good Christmas fishing gear wise :dance:
....but do you think my good buddy Gizmo got me anything???? Heck no!!!! :whazzup:

[globalfisher]

I got some new breathables, my old ones were leaking a lot and I got some tougher nicer waders that will last me a long time. I also got some gift cards to both sportmans and gi joes. Besides fishing stuff I am getting a 20 gig ipod with christmas money. :yay:

[Blue Tip Spinner]

a new reel that a chinook stole from me last spring!!!!!

[TillamookChinook]

I got Carhartt jacket and pants, so I will not only look more like one of the gang at the next Ifish Flyfish outing, I will look very stylish wearing the Carhartt suit to the symphony.

:smile:

[Fish Slayer]

I got enough money to buy whatever fishing gear I want! :grin: And I spent some of it on a new fly line. I got the Rio Versatip in an 8wt for steelhead and light salmon fishing. I still have yet to fish for a steelhead or salmon with my fly rod so hopefully this will be my reason to get me out there. :grin:

[bbaley]

An new/unused Scott STS 905/4 and a set of RIO VERSATIP systems with 5 tips....

Oh, and a set of five Metz tungsten-carbide scissors for tying...

Cheers!
