Love the fishing lure bout idea.
Instead of table numbers, you could name the tables after fish.
You could incorporate it into your save the dates -- I just googled and saw a cute tagline "They caught each other hook, line, and sinker." I tend to think STDs can be less formal and don't have to match the invites.
You can always do a fishing themed groom's cake, too.
Good luck!
Love the bout idea.. very cute.. maybe have a fishing grooms cake for him.
How about one of those beautiful old wicker bait (I think they were for bait or tackle) baskets to use as the card box? You could tie a coordinating ribbon to the handle.
Love the STD tagline! You could also incorporate the theme into the table names too. Maybe different kinds of fish? Or favorite fishing spots?
My cousin did this for his wedding, which was at a converted fish hatchery - he and his wife named the tables after different types of fish and made escort cards on shipping tags with different lures attached to them. It was cute, and not tacky at all!
Maybe you could do a grooms cake that reflects his love for fishing. You can also get fish cufflinks.
How fun!
I don't have any good wedding ideas, but my grandparents had a sign by their front door that said "an old fisherman lives here with the best catch of his life" It always made me smile when I saw it.
Love the bout idea! I was going to suggest it when I read the title, I used to tie flies with my g-pa :)
I love all these ideas!
A tackle box would make such a cute card box!
I also love the bout idea and have this as inspiration.

Maybe forgo the crazy carp's on the vest (unless your into that...)
I am also thinking you need to include "bobbers" somewhere. Or little fishing boats? I had two friends who were into scuba diving and they submersed lego scuba diver in each of their centrepieces with floating candles and roses. It was a super cute added touch and very meaningful.
I went to a beach wedding where the ringbearers carried fishing poles with the rings tied to the end of the lines... it was very cute, but maybe not if your wedding is indoors?
Here's an old post: http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/lake-fishing-theme-project-ideas
FAVOR IDEAS:
small bags of swedish fish candy
Buy small plain tin boxes (preferably with no labels on them) and paint the tins a pale to medium green with enamel spray paint (do this in a well ventilated area). Once dry, stick some children's fish stickers here and there on the tin. Fill up with gummy worms and present your wedding guests with their own "tackle" box wedding favors.
Pick up packs of "Go Fish" playing cards and wrap in netting or fish theme wrapping paper.
OTHER DECOR:
use an old fishing boat or canoe filled with ice for beer and soft drinks
use an old fishing creel as your cardbox
old fishing poles at the entrance as a type of arch
escort cards could be river rocks with names printed on them
OTHER:
Play Brad Paisley's " I'm Gonna Miss Her. The Fishing Song
I just tied a couple of pieces for accents at my buddy's wedding. Finished, they'll look something like this with a little more detail on the vase. They were all tied using materials from my fly tying bench. I used them for bouts at my wedding. Also, we did the swedish fish thing at our candy bar and had personalized item cards, although everyone that knew me got it right away. Another nice accent could be a couple large (2/0) stainless steel saltwater hooks, you can of course cut off the hook point or file it down. A few of those scattered by the place cards could be a nice accent. Also, depending on the setting, a nice wicker creek and antique fly rod somewhere could add a nice touch. Good luck, and he's a lucky guy for having such an understanding fiance!
Thank you EVERYONE!!!! These ideas are amazing and I will definately be using them. Thak you again! Wish me luck!
Just saw this bumped again and while I love @julies1949:'s suggestions, I just have to beg you not to use Brad Paisley's "I'm Gonna Miss Her" song. It is basically about a guy choosing fishing OVER his woman and so they break up... not really wedding appropriate, though it certainly speaks to a love of fishing.
I might totally steal the tackle box favor idea, though!
Nitty gritty dirt band "you and me goin fishin in the dark" :)
i love the idea of tackle box for the cards! i will be using that. we did our save the dates fishing theme. i got them from magnetstreet.com they were magnets and they said we're hooked. it had our picture on it that was taken near a lake and the magnet had a lure on it that u can change the color of to match you wedding colors. people are still talking about them. i also just went to a wedding and instead of signing a guest book it was 2 wooden oars, i loved it.
I am doing a fishing themed wedding too and these are some great ideas! I love the idea of using a tackle box as a card box! These are the cards I gave my bridesmaids to ask them if they wanted to be in the wedding. 
I love the idea of the fishing lure boutonnieres and tables named after fish!
I like the fishing themed grooms cake too. I found this one on Google that I thought was cool...
What about something like fish bowls with river rocks for centerpieces? They're sort of rustic and outdoorsy, a subtle nod to his favorite pastime, but still very elegant.
Are you doing epics? You could do some fishing pics, and use them as table numbers. That's how we used our epics, and it was nice so people could walk around and check out the pics and also mingle in the process

Hello Everyone! I need your help!! My fiance LOVES to fish. Doesn't matter where he is, he's looking for a place to fish, someone to talk about fishing with, watching a fishing show, looking at a fishing magazine... You get my point right? I want to incorporate his favorite hobby into the wedding without being to "tacky". Any ideas? I am already using fly fishing lures for his and his groommens' boutonnieres. PLEASE help, I'm stumped! Thanks!
