    Hi,

    I have a fly fishing (trout and salmon) obsessed dad who spends every free minute during the season out on a lake. I'm looking for a C'mas present for him, budget about 250 euro.
    He's the kind of person that will have all the latest gadgets etc, so maybe a night in a lodge with a ghillie or an antique rod of some description would be along the lines of what I would like to get him (but have no clue what would be a good find??)

    Any suggestions would be very welcome!
    Thanks...

    My father fishes quite a bit and I do some angling from time to time - I would recomend the following:

    Good quality waders from www.wellie-boots.com

    BEHRTHERMALSUIT.jpg
    Made with waterproof nylon this lightweight suit is inside coated with PVC and has double welded seams. The inner lining is a superior fleece to keep you warm on even the coldest of winter days. from Baumanns.ie

    Fantasic new alarm from Pro Logic. Comes with a LED display light. Magnetic roller wheel to hold the line, gives extremely good bite results. This alarm has an adjustable volume and a very clever adjustable sensitivity button for those windy days fishing. One of the best alarms we've seen. So good in fact we now have a set of three to offer for an amazing price. also from Baumanns.ie

    Hopefully this helps to solve your problem!
