The 2024 Barbless Flies (Last Minute) Gift Guide

by Richard Fieldhouse

Morning James,

I've just got my fishing trips planned for over the Christmas break - only to a couple of local streams with a few friends - but I'm really looking forward to getting out and about now that our rivers have started to subside and the Grayling have started to make an appearance.

I've been wanting to give a new-fangled furled leader a try out, so hopefully we can stock them in the next few weeks (thanks for the sample Marcus).

I will report back in January.

But in the meantime, if yo need any last-minute flies or gifts ...

Christmas Deliveries

As we are now even nearer Christmas, we always experience a rush of orders (and numerous phone calls), from anglers wanting their flies, books etc in time for Christmas.

In order to receive your order for Christmas, our last posting dates are below (based on which postal service you prefer):

  • FREE Delivery (2nd Class) - Wednesday 18th December - that's tomorrow!
  • 1st Class Tracked - Friday 20th December
  • Special Delivery (Guaranteed) - Monday 23rd December

Our collections from Royal Mail are usually around 3pm, so we would ask that where possible please order before 1pm and the Fly Fairies will make sure your order goes out the very same day.

Please Note: I am planning to give the Fly Fairies a few days off in the break between Christmas and the New Year, therefore any orders placed between the 27th December and 1st January will be shipped to you on the 2nd January.

Winter Nymphing (Made Easy)

If you're planning your own trip to the river in the coming weeks, then you're going to need one of these, it makes fishing at this tine of year so easy:

It's an Indicator Furled Leader, and it makes fishing nymphs a doddle, especially when at longer range.

These are slightly different to any furled leaders you may have seen before, each furled leader kit includes:

  • Fast Taper Furled Leader - Winter Grey Colour
  • 6 + 1 Installed Hi-Viz Yellow Sight Indicators
  • 4 - 6X Stroft GTM Tippet already installed (around 36"), making the overall leader length 10ft - just add extra tippet to alter the depth your flies fish.

Open the packet, attach it to your fly line & you're ready to fish

They're only £15 for the leader (which includes a set of indicators which you can move to alter the depth). These are so easy to use it's almost like cheating!

Last Minute (dot) Com & only £9.99

Christmas - It's a time to sit back and relax ...

What better way than to pour yourself a drink and read a book. We've had some great feedback on the FLY: Series of books we've written + they make great stocking fillers:

Each of our FLY: Series of books takes a single subject and dives deep into it. We've covered quite a few different subjects so far:

Why not grab a copy today, set aside a few hours over Christmas (away from the outlaws) and expand your knowledge.

Fill your boots & start to make room for the turkey.
