text: what are favorite fisherman's gifts? my boyfriend loves to fish and sometimes we go fishing at one of the local lakes here in phoenix.  i want to get him a father's day gift in relation to fishing...maybe a basket of fishing accessories (not even sure what would be best for that) or something???????  any suggestions? i could give you all kinds of suggestions, however, i think the best thing you can do is go to a local department store to the sport section. talk to an associate that knows a lot about fishing. they will be able to help you one on one better. they will be able to show you what kinds of things to get that suits the area you live in and what kind of fish are caught there.   as far as a gift "basket", i would say no. go with a fishing vest and place the things in the vest that you are going to buy for him. plus a nice fishing hat.  hope i helped....good luck!!
