Fall is here, and it has brought cooler temps, good for fishing without risking sunstroke. It's a perfect time for surprising your favorite fisherman (or fisherwoman) with a special little gift. And, Christmas isn't far behind, either!
Sometimes, it's hard to know how to choose a gift for a fisherman when you don't fish yourself. Yet, you know they would love a fishing gift. After all, when someone loves to fish, they really love to fish!
If you want to surprise a fisherman with a special fishing gift, you may luck out when they mention just exactly what they want. But then again, they may not!
Recently, a family member spoke enthusiastically about a "creel." All I could do was smile and nod agreeably. Later, I looked up creels to find out what in the heck he was talking about.
That also prompted me to begin searching great fishing gifts that weren't specific enough to require expert fishing knowledge in order to make an intelligent selection. And I found some great fishing stuff!

What's the best fishing gift you ever got - or gave?
Fun fact about the shad. Thanks for that!
CruiseReady, The book and the organizers look particularly fail-safe as gifts from swimming non-fishers to non-swimming and swimming fishers. Serviceberry also is known as shadbush in Virginia where locals say that the woody plant blooms when the shad run.
Thanks. Not mine - one caught by one of the guys. I don't fish. I swim!
Nice red fish in your net.
