Fishing people have a particular kind of patience that looks from the outside like doing nothing and from the inside like a whole ongoing negotiation with the water, the weather, the light, the bait, the specific stubborn fish they have decided today is about. They're not actually relaxing in the way people assume. They're paying very close attention and finding it satisfying in a way that doesn't require explanation to anyone who gets it. The gifts that work for this person are the ones that fit the actual experience: better gear for a specific gap in what they have, something for the ritual of getting ready, or something that makes the time out there a little more comfortable. They know gear. They'll know if you got something good.
