Tying Vises

Adam, oh yeah, you're single now, but that could be over in a HEARTBEAT and you'll never see it coming, ha. Words of widom -- get all your toys before that fateful day.

Flat waxed chartreuse tying thread? I suspected as such, a very popular choice for striper flies. I only know of one fly shop within an 80 mile radius that carries lime floss, thought maybe you had acquired some for a special tie.

I use the Chartreuse Flat Wax Nylon by the boxes not by the spools. I tie all my flies with the Chartreuse and the Hot Orange. And the other thread I'm using is Nymo.

Great threads

Well, here is a picture of my very sophisticated fly tying digs:



And at my feet next to me as I tie, my fly tying technical advisor:

Looks like a lifetime supply of dubbing there on the hoof (paw??) .

Here's a fly holder a friend made for me that I have found very handy. Basically particle board with holes drilled in it to accomodate these electrical test clips you can buy at Radio Shack. When you're done tying a fly, you just clip it and stick it in one of the holes while the head cement dries, etc. Underneath, it has little squares of rubber glued at each corner to keep it from marring any surface. I like it a lot.

This is the place my family's begin!

Mike, Very nice! I especially like your wooden box.

[Adam Grace]

Nice setup Mike. Did you clean it up for the picture?

Hey Adam,

No, it's not always this clean. I'm trying to sell my house. Cleanup a must after each session, NOT! I was bored this morning waiting for the repairman to leave so I could hit the "A".

BTW, the wife got me the box for Xmas last year. I think she got it at COSCO at a fairly reasonable price. I haven't seen any there since. I think Cabelas has something similar for about $60.00.

Mike, I looked at the one at Cabelas. Hope I'm not offending anyone but I don't believe it's nearly as nice as yours. Xmas, eh? Lucky dog!
