Did you get cash for Christmas? How about a gift card to Cabela’s or Bass Pro? Or, perhaps you were the lucky recipient of store credit to a local fly shop.
Do you feel like you have to spend it ASAP? At least go into it with a little bit of a plan. Even if the money isn’t burning a hole in your pocket, resist the urge to just toss it in a dresser drawer. Take inventory of your fishing gear during these cold months and figure out what gear you could target.
Today I’m sharing three articles that can help. I’ve got a lot of lists on the site with product ideas and recommendations. These three posts are particularly helpful for:
- The new fly fisher
- The fly fisher who likes to read
- The fly fisher with a dollar amount in mind

Did you receive a gift that you’re going to use on or near the water? I’d love to hear about it! Send me a note about what it is and why you’re excited.
