Santa will be gliding his way down the chimney soon and while a 12-pack of tube socks would be awesome, here are 5 things I really want this year that won’t cost a dime.
1: A new Loomis Stinger GLX. 12 ½´ # 7/8 – The best smaller Spey rod I ever have fished. I already have a GLX 12 ½ ‘, but would like to add one more to the collection as back up, if Loomis suddenly decide to stop the production of this awesome stick. Of some strange reason some of the best products always ends up being discontinued
2: Patagonia Nano Puff Jacket. The best piece of insulation clothing available on the market. Its super light and warm, and dries up in 3 minutes after have been washed

3: Geber Multi tools. My old trusty Geber Multi tool was confiscated in the security at Portland Airport last winter (My own stupid mistake of course)

4: Yellow and Orange Bucktail for fly tying – Need to tie 200 new Cascades for the up coming season – Can’t get enough of this super fly.

5: Simms Hardbite studs for the Umba wading – The best studs for the slippery Umba stones. They are easy to screw into the soles and a good safety precaution.

I had planned to ask Santa for a few more things, but I think he got a hernia from my sitting on his lap too long.
