Direct answer
A gift for a fly fishing guide is usually a thank you for time, knowledge, and care on the water. Keep it simple, practical, and personal, and keep it separate from any tip or payment arrangement you have already made. Small useful items and a written thank you are often appropriate, but do not assume a guide wants a large or specialist item.

Frequently asked questions
What is a good thank-you gift for a fly fishing guide?
A small useful item plus a written thank you is a common approach. Keep it personal and practical rather than large or specialist.
Is a gift for a guide the same as a tip?
No. A gift and a tip or payment arrangement should be kept distinct, and local practice and personal preference vary.
Why is this guide short?
Evidence for gifts for guides as recipients is thin. Most guide mentions in gift sources mean guides as authors or recommenders, not as recipients, so this page does not overstate the topic.
Should I ask the guide what they would like?
If you have a good relationship and the chance to ask, that can avoid an unwanted item. A thoughtful note is a safe addition either way.
