Christmas pressies for fisherman?

Any thoughts on what a fisherman who probably has everything already might
like for Christmas? Up to about £100 would be good!
Thanks

Hi Rachael
Difficult without knowing the type of fishing he does - if he already
has "everything" have a look at sites like
http://www.gifts4fishing.co.uk/ for a few ideas. If you don't mind the
gift voucher route then many firms do these. A "google" search on the
lines of "fishhing tackle gift voucher" will throw up lots.
Something quirky might fit the bill for someone with everything but
£100 is a lot to throw at something quirky. You could get quite a
serious piece of kit for that amount. A small digital camera to record
the catches on etc.

A good book... Eg, a nice facsimile of the first edition of The
Compleat Angler...

If he ties flies, a nicely presented collection of fur from a few of
your friends...

Ah, that last bit looks interesting. What and in what quantities would I
actually need?

Modest quantities of female fluff. As many different natural colours as
you can obtain. The best colour I've got is strawberry blonde - it
glistens like gold. Keep 'em all separate - preferably in small
sealable bags (say 2" x 2" reasonably well stuffed), labelled with the
source, of course. Fibres don't need to be long as they'll be "dubbed"
on to the silk and wound around the hook like this (steps 3, 6 and 8)

so there's still growing time before Xmas if necessary.

One of the attractions is that female pheromones attract big male
fish...

But there are other attractions as well, of course - it's a wonderful
material to work with and it's a good topic of conversation.

A biologist pal of mine tells me that underarm fur is the best source of
pheromone. It also has the added attraction of being less common.

And if your friends have got a bit of mink or something in the wardrobe
that they no longer use, small patches of that would probably be
acceptable as well...

How about a really stonking swiss army knife I never leave home without one
(eat your heart out Alan Whicker) seriously once you have owned one its
difficult to remember why you hadn't bought one before, Vicky bought me a
deluxe one last christmas and we both carry the small keyring models
