Fly Fishing Advent Calendar

It delivers a set of must-have flies every true fly fishing enthusiast wants. The fun starts on December 1st when door number one is opened to reveal a high-quality, waterproof fly box. Over the next twenty-three days, our lucky fly fisher will enjoy receiving a new, hand-tied, fresh-water fly everyday until his/her fly box is full, just in time for Christmas morning. The names of each fly is printed on the inside of each open door.  The box itself is a cardboard replica of an antique British fly box.  MSRP: $69 CAD

BaitCloud

BaitCloud is a product that is designed to stimulate activity for both gamefish and baitfish surrounding your selected fishing location. It is also very easy to use while ice fishing, simply drop a BaitCloud ball into your drilled hole in the ice to stimulate activity and draw gamefish to your location.

The BaitCloud works by stimulating a combination of sensory senses including sound (effervesce), visual (Bio-Glitter & bubbles), and scent (fish oil, amino acids, & proprietary attractants). Each BaitCloud ball should enhance your ice location for about an hour. MSRP: $11 USD for a tube package of three balls.

Bill Lewis StutterStep™

We call it a StutterStep, because it can be stopped next to fishy cover and walked in place. With some quick twitching an angler can make the StutterStep turn its head back and forth while staying next to a target. Plus, it throws off a nasty little tail kick upon every twitch. This allows the angler to tease the fish out of the cover. Being a large bodied lure, fish seem to think they have to stun it to kill it. This leads to bone-crushing blow ups. Size: 1 OZ - 5” MSRP: $13.99

Brite-Strike® Line Lights™

Fishing lights provide light when there is none from the sun. These lights make lures and live bait look more realistic to slow moving fish in winter. The torpedo shape is designed to move silently through water and they can be used not only to attract more fish with any lure, rig, jig or bait set-up, but also to provide extra light in your ice shelter. They are a great day/night signaling system with 2 flashing modes and a steady on mode. They can be turned off and re-used again. MSRP: $10.00 USD
