Montana Guides Christmas List with Guide James Ligon
As our guides wind down from the busy fishing season on the Madison their thoughts turn to Christmas and what gear they really want under the tree. These guys spend countless days on the water all over Montana each year and the choice in gear is not just for looks but for functionality. What they are looking to add to their kit for Christmas you can bet is guide tested and works.
A veteran guide James Ligon has been guiding in Montana the last 5 years. He spends well over 100 days a year on the water with guests every year. His picks for Christmas gifts show that experience.
His first item is The Clear Compartment Meiho Box. All of our guides are preferring this box as it is completely customizable and waterproof. Coming in at $27 it is an easy gift for the fisherman on your list.
Secondly, he really wants a new Cling Fishing Magnet for his new boat. These are available in several sizes from boat size to small that can be worn on your hat. This is the best option to hold flies as they dry off.
Third James is looking for Fish Pond Firehole Back Pack. James likes to explore Yellowstone National Park fishing on foot and this is a great pack for that.
Forth James is looking to replace his wading boots with Korkers Dark Horse Wading Boots. The interchangeable soles make these the perfect boots. Fish the Madison with felt one day and the Yellowstone with rubber the next all with the same boots.
Lastly, James big item is Orvis Helios D Fly Rod. As James says “Fast but Soft” this rod is perfect for Montana.
Take a look at James video where he explains all the reasons why these items appear on his list.
