The FFIP Holiday Sale is our fly fishing Black Friday deal: from Thursday, November 26 through Monday, November 30, 2026, code HOLIDAY15 takes 15% off everything in the FFIP shop, and US orders of $100 or more ship free automatically. Partner listings and travel are excluded. The code saves the most on Rising nets, tenkara rods, waders and merino layers.
I am not a doorbuster guy. I do not want to stand in a parking lot at 5 a.m. on Black Friday unless the parking lot is next to a steelhead river. So we kept our holiday sale simple: one code, one free shipping offer, five days, and you can shop it from the couch with leftover pie.
This guide explains exactly how the sale works, then lists the gear where 15% off does the most good. Everything links to the FFIP shop, and every one of our gift guides is linked below, so you can finish your whole list in one sitting.
From Thursday, November 26 through Monday, November 30, 2026, take 15% off everything in the FFIP shop with code HOLIDAY15, plus free US shipping on orders of $100 or more. Partner listings and travel are excluded.
- Biggest savings: a Rising Brookie Net saves you $23.85 on the opening price.
- Safest surprise rod: the Wasatch Hankyu Middle Fork tenkara rod, with no reel or line to match.
- Smartest stock-up: an Essential Western fly assortment plus a Gatling Fly Box.
- Best cold-weather layer: the Minus33 Woolverino crew.
How Does the FFIP Holiday Sale Work?
The FFIP Holiday Sale works with one discount code and one automatic shipping offer, both live from 12:00 a.m. Mountain Time on Thursday, November 26 through 11:59 p.m. Mountain Time on Monday, November 30, 2026.
- The code: enter HOLIDAY15 at checkout for 15% off eligible items in the FFIP shop. It is not limited to one order per customer, so you can come back for a second round.
- Free shipping: US orders of $100 or more ship free automatically, no second code needed, and it works together with HOLIDAY15.
- One code per order: HOLIDAY15 does not stack with other product or order discount codes.
- Exclusions: partner listings and travel are not part of the sale, and gift cards cannot be discounted.
- US only for free shipping: the free shipping offer applies to US addresses.
Here is the math on a big-ticket item. A Rising Brookie Net opens at $159, so 15% off saves $23.85 and brings it to $135.15, and since that is still over $100, it ships free in the US. That is the sweet spot: gear in the $100 to $200 range gets both perks on its own.
What Are the Best Fly Fishing Black Friday Deals to Buy?
The best fly fishing Black Friday deals are on the gear where 15% is real money: nets, rods, waders, lighting and premium layers. Browse the nets collection and tenkara collection for more options in those categories.
Rising Brookie Net
Rising's lightest, most compact net, sized for trout in rivers and bass in ponds, with a 10 inch or 24 inch handle. It is the classic gift anglers want but rarely buy for themselves, which makes it the best place to spend a 15% code.
Starting from $159 Shop Now
Wasatch Tenkara Rods Hankyu Middle Fork
A carbon fiber triple zoom tenkara rod that fishes at 9, 10.5 or 12 feet. Tenkara has no reel or line weight to match, so it is one of the few rods that is safe to buy as a surprise.
$175 Shop Now
Paramount OBSIDIAN Pro-Series Breathable Wader
A breathable 4-ply nylon stockingfoot chest wader with a full wrap leg that eliminates the inseam seam, double-sealed neoprene booties and gravel guards with lace hooks. Only buy waders for someone whose exact size you know, or treat this as a deal for yourself.
Starting from $179.99 Shop Now
Devos LightRanger 1200
A high-power rechargeable LED lantern on a telescoping pole and tripod, with a carry bag and a 20 watt USB-C charging adapter. It lights up a camp, a truck tailgate or a dark boat ramp for the angler who chases the evening hatch.

Snowcrossed Heavyweight 1/4-Zip FlexShell Mountain Hoodie
A heavyweight quarter-zip hoodie that works as a warm layer on a cold morning at the put-in and around town after. At $72.00 it sits under the free shipping line, so add the furled leader combo and a bag of coffee below and the cart gets close to $100 even after the discount.

Minus33 Midweight Woolverino Crew
An 85% merino midweight crew with thumbholes and a slim fit that stays put under a wading jacket. Merino keeps insulating when damp, which is exactly what you want next to cold water in winter.

Stock a small confidence box, not a giant one. A Pennsylvania competition angler and guide told us on the podcast that three nymph patterns account for roughly 90 percent of the fish he nymphs in a year. For sale shoppers, that is a great filter: restock the handful of flies you actually trust, in a few sizes, instead of buying one of everything.
What Should Anglers Stock Up On During the Sale?
Anglers should stock up on the things they burn through every season: flies, leaders, nippers, gloves and coffee. These smaller items are also the easiest way to push an order over the $100 free shipping line. More consumables live in the lines, leaders and tippet collection.
Essential Western Trout Fly Assortment
Two dozen flies, two each of 12 Western dries and nymphs, on Tiemco hooks in a fly box. Restocking flies is the most practical way to use a sale code, because you are buying what you would buy in April anyway.
$38.95 Shop Now
Lid Rig Gatling Fly Box
A magnetic-closure fly box with camo foam that easily holds 90-plus dry flies and fits in a cup holder. Pair it with the assortment above, the leader combo and a bag of coffee, and the cart clears the $100 free shipping line even after the 15% comes off.
$49.95 Shop Now
Lid Rig 3.0
Lid Rig calls this "The People's Premium Nipper": a magnetic nipper with dual cutting surfaces instead of the usual cutter and anvil. It parks on a hat brim or pack, and it is a tool they will use every single day on the water.
$59.95 Shop Now
TRUCK M1 Glove
A water-resistant goatskin glove with 250 gram polar fleece insulation and a breathable stretch back. Built for ski days and great for rowing, launching and loading boats in cold weather.
$50 Shop Now
Angler's Coffee Brown Trout Blend
An organic dark roast with baker's chocolate and smoky notes. Coffee is the perfect cart-filler when you are a few dollars short of the free shipping line.
Starting from $15.72 Shop Now
Moonlit Ultimate Furled Leader Combo
Three USA-made furled leaders, the Featherweight, the Big Hog and the fluorocarbon HOGzilla, covering dries, nymph rigs and heavy flies. Leaders get used up, so a three-pack on sale is smart shopping.

Shopping for yourself? My buddy Luke writes his sale list in October, the same way he writes a packing list, so he does not end up with a third pair of nippers. Our 15 essential fly fishing accessories list is a good place to start yours.
