Hi everybody.
I've been shad fishing a spot that has a local fixture, Tim the spin guy. He fishes a bobber with a double fly rig under it. Tim's helped me out and helps everyone who asks. He's a remarkably good guy. Will share a spot in a heartbeat.

Tim showed me a fly he built himself today. It's a Bloody Maria variant. He tied it using his hands.

He doesn't appear to be loaded and the price of flies and the trip to the shop are pretty dear for him, so I was wondering if anyone here has an old used vice they could gift to him.

I'd given my old Thompson away years ago and have no spare.

Some on here already know Tim, in fact many do.

This guy is fishy. Real fishy. The kind of fishy you don't bump into every day.

If you have one let me know and I'll pick it up and deliver it.

Or you can just give it straight to him.

I have an older vice I don't use.

Can you pm his name and address and I will send to him.

Thanks Mr. T!

It was well received.

I caught him just as he was getting off the water.

I think soon there will be a new fly tier in town.

Ed sounds like you found a vice elsewhere?

I've looked out my previous vice and happy to mail it.

If this gentleman doesn't need it happy to send to someone else that needs one.

Yeah Steve, another board member here in town donated one.

Thanks for the thought.
