Issue # 1 | www.YakAngler.com | YakAngler | 3

Th is year, as the holiday season is upon us, we thought that it would be fun to ask our Pro Staff members “what’s on your Christmas wish list?” We ask them to narrow their list into three separate categories; Kayak Fishing Gear, Paddling Gear, and Outdoor Gear. Th ey responded with tons of wonderful products. Unable to put together a fi ft y page magazine, we decided to narrow these products down into what you will see on the following pages.

We hope that they help to inspire your own Christmas wish list or even better help you decide on what to purchase for that YakAngler on your shopping list.

On behalf of Mark and myself, and all of our Pro-Staff ers we would like to wish you and yours a wonderful and safe Holiday.

Sincerely,

Adam Hayes
