Gift Guide

The LCO

LCO 13th Annual Fly Fishing Gift Guide

For over a decade, Lost Coast Outfitters has been San Francisco’s trusted fly shop, helping anglers of every level find the right gear, knowledge, and community to thrive on the water. As we celebrate our 12th year, we’re proud to bring you our Annual Fly Fishing Gift Guide — a curated list of gifts that are tested and trusted by our staff, guides, and customers.

When you shop with LCO, you’re not just checking a name off your holiday list — you’re giving a gift that’s rooted in experience, quality, and the community that’s been fishing the Bay Area and beyond with us since 2013. Every dollar you spend with LCO is an investment in the future of the shop, and the bay area community.

Whether you’re gifting a lifelong angler or someone just getting started, these are the pieces that keep our crew fishing all year. One shop, all water, happy hunting.

George's Picks

Chosen by founder and guide George Revel, these are the staples that he travels with throughout California and around the world. Every item here has earned its place in his kit and is practical, durable, and unapologetically purpose-built.

A Little Somethin'

Small, essential, and endlessly useful. From precision tools to fly boxes and streamside accessories, these pieces prove that craftsmanship still matters — even in the details.

Check out stickers, pins, and patches here.

Camp-Approved Gifts

When the fishing day’s done, the real fun starts around the fire. Think flasks, warm layers, sharp knives, and clever tools that make camp life easier — or at least better looking. These are gifts that smell faintly of pine smoke and good company.

Life Is Better Around a Campfire

Gifts for the Traveler

For anglers who live by the carry-on rule. Compact rods, rugged packs, and smart organization built to handle airports, wet decks, and dusty roads and field-tested from Baja to the Brooks Range.

Limited Edition

Discover our exclusive line of Limited Edition Fly Fishing Gear, featuring rare collaborations, custom finishes, and small-batch designs you won’t find anywhere else. From handcrafted rods and precision reels to unique apparel and accessories, each piece is built for anglers who appreciate craftsmanship and individuality. Once they’re gone—they’re gone.

Gifts for Her

Performance and fit for women who fish hard. These aren’t “adapted” pieces — they’re purpose-designed for comfort, protection, and capability on the water. Proven by our own anglers and guides.

Fly Fishing Books & Magazines

A good book keeps you close to the water, even in the off-season. From classic essays to modern field guides, these reads capture the patience, precision, and wonder that define the sport.

For the Young Angler

Start them right. Kid-sized rods, dependable gear, and the tools to build skill and respect for the resource. Simplicity that inspires a lifelong connection to water.

For the Aging Angler

Wisdom stays; strain doesn’t have to—lightweight and ergonomic gear designed to keep experienced anglers fishing longer, with less fatigue and more enjoyment.
