So as not to miss anything

If you want to offer a gift that is off the beaten track, you will love the handmade landing nets by artisan Claude Bourcier. Made with a blend of three Quebec wood species, they are offered with 42″ baskets for river fishermen and 50″ baskets for boat fishermen. It’s even possible to integrate your fan’s favorite fly into an epoxy insert. Everything can be personalized with pyrography. They are so attractive that the person you want to spoil may hang theirs on the wall. Price: $200 and $250. Facebook “Workshop deep in the woods”.

Cool

It is very distressing to note that the trout caught seem to have heated up in the sun. With a Hopper Flip 18 bag from Yeti, measuring 45 x 29.2 x 32.5 cm, the amateur can bring his lunch on the ice, then, once satisfied, accommodate beautiful fish of 40 cm or more. Weighing only 2 kg, it comes with ColdCell insulation to keep the cold inside. The DryHide shell is made with high-density fabric that resists punctures and mildew. The shoulder strap makes it easy to carry and the Hydrolok zipper locks in freshness. Available in 9 colors. Prix 400 $. Yeti.ca.

Very practical

No one wants to go through the hassle of trying to blow with their mouth to inflate a mattress or fishing float tube. Dad will be happy to have help from Olympia’s 3-in-1 portable and rechargeable mini air pump, which offers two modes for inflating and deflating. It is equipped with five nozzles to make the task easier. The 32616CA comes with a storage bag, manual and USB-C cable to generate 10 hours of battery life. Lightweight and compact, it can be stored anywhere and is easy to transport. Price: $44.99. On sale at Atmosphère and Sports Experts.

From control

The Bullnose Rudder is the perfect solution to compensate for the lack of direction of 24 to 55 lb electric motors installed on the transom. This space-saving 10.5 x 4.5 rudder is ideal for helping the user stay on course when the wind picks up, the water is choppy or they simply want to move in a straight line when fishing lagging behind, for example. Made of impact-resistant plastic, it installs in minutes with stainless steel screws. It is ideal for rowboats, canoes, kayaks, pontoons, small boats, etc. Prix : 49,99 $. Fishntech.com.

Sharp

If you are looking for an original present, Éric Séguin, the famous knife guy, has something to thrill true knife enthusiasts. This Laurentian craftsman manufactures and shapes real works combining tradition and modernity in steel. This durable fillet knife, which maintains its cut fillet after fillet, is distinguished by its high-end blade which allows great precision when the time comes to remove fish flesh. Its ergonomic moose plume handle ensures an impeccable grip. He can even use yours upon request. Price: $350. Facebook “Séguin Knives”.

Anti-cling

When a fisherman positions a lure on the transport ring of his rod, he obviously wants it to stay in place, but this is not always the case. The Cal Coast Fishing Bait Sack is a transparent protective case that Gary Gaussiran says is the quickest, easiest and safest to use. Simply squeeze it with one hand to open it, drop in the offering, position it on the hook and attach it to your rod. It includes two sizes of clips and is available in three popular sizes to cover all lures. Price: $15.49 to $18.49. Fishntech.com.

Attractive

To see a rod handler’s eyes light up, as well as those of the trout and char who gaze upon them, offer the 3-LCW1 set including three Lake Clear Wabbler spoons. These 3 1/8″ offerings of premium stamped brass, plated with real precious metal, are known to reflect light stronger and further than all other finishes. The three shades presented are among the most productive in the range. The lucky recipient will only have to add a leader with an earthworm, a nymph or a fly. Price: $27.99. At Canadian Tire dealers.

Easy to carry

Transporting a conventional fishing rod in two sections is sometimes difficult and risky when traveling by plane, mountain bike or other means. Most portable models on the market are unfortunately inefficient. Lew’s developed the three-piece Speed ​​Stick Travel Rod with rigid carrying tube to meet the needs of globetrotters. With a length of 6’6”, this rod made of IM8 quality graphite with a cork handle allows the amateur to catapult lures from 1/8 to 1⁄2 ounce to outwit trout, walleyes, etc. Prix : 139,99 $.

To enjoy

It is incredibly enjoyable to catch fish, prepare and smoke them, then allow the whole table to enjoy them. Bradley’s new 76 liter hot smoker, the Smoker Professional P10, is perfect for professional chefs and those who want to stand out. Fully automatic, the smoker allows you to simply load bisquettes and smoke for up to 10 hours. Fully insulated and digital, it has two probes to measure the internal temperature of your recipes and never miss your cooking again.
