....funny how that works, eh...:cool:

Dog-gone it, I knew I should'a waited...

Thanks for the info Byron. For me anymore, I'm going to have to get any tool in my hands before I buy. I think I'm set for life tho!!

Jeremy.

Nice SBS Scott. Excellent photo's!!

Nice ties Byron. That Crackleback, I have a bunch of them I tied a few yrs. back. Never taken a fish on one yet. I've tried.

Maybe it's me but I know how to handle a line on the drift. A friend on...

Wow, what a wonderful surprise Byron. That' really is some kind'a kool!!

I met Bob a couple summers ago whilst staying at Campfire Lodge, just downstream from where he took that huge brownie....

NICE!! Thanks much.

Another winner Scott.

Thanks and I'll have to agree with James and Oldster, totally worth trying a few. Man, you take good pics.!!

Don, you have a really cool web site!!

Byron,

Apologies. I also do as you suggested. Seems I was fast to overlook this detail!!

Mea culpa!

It works very well indeed. Since I bought a bunch (like a TON) of Uni thread (ya can't split it!!) on an online sale when I first began tying, this became my go-to for a "split-thread" (cough, cough)...

Mike,

Thanks for starting this thread. I've saved pics of two very good-looking flies from Martin and planettrout because of it!

Thanks guys, looks like I have to "up" my fly tins again!!

Thanks all, it's appreciated. The wait makes it all the better.

i just got rid of two nice vises and my bride (of 36 yrs.) asked "Well, you've never actually seen one. What if you don't like it?...

Thanks. It's a bit like Christmas as a kid, there's much enjoyment in the wait!

Well now that's simply beautiful!! Nice choice of the base hardwood, it's rich in color and grain. And those jaws...now I'm not feeling so bad!!!

Assuming you have your vise in-hand, how long did...

Byron,

Last time I talked to Hans w/a question he mentioned he was pursuing a couple other deep interests to include some superb photography. He kindly sent me a couple pics. of a couple Wood...

Bugsy,

I'll let you know just what I think of my new tool when she arrives shortly. It's somewhere, high over the ocean currently, en-route to MN.

I did go the hardwood base route as you can...

HMH vise, like new w/midge jaws for sale. Used for a handful of tiny flies, hence the midge jaws and is no longer in use so, off she goes!

No issues at all. Great little tool for flies on the...

Looks nice Byron.

I imagined trying to justify it for myself but can't for my tying. Hope I don't get the "Ah nuts!" feeling after I okay the PDF invoice and send in my $$ Monday morning. Got...

They make a cool little scud pattern that I use for shallow depths, as I fish a furled leader and use that as a "sighter" to watch for the take..."twitch" in the line. I vary the amt. of weight,...

For sale, a just received a Kabuto 8033 from Shane of Graywolf rods. The rod is perfectly done in all aspects of what I was wanting. Unfortunately, being more of a bamboo guy it simply doesn't...

Thanks gents, for pointing these variations on the E/C Caddis out and all the subsequent discussion. If I had anything relevant to add I surely would but sometimes it's best just to shut up and...

Nice job Alberto. What a stunning picture!

Jeremy.

Thanks dub, I'll look for it as I'm not familiar with the term.

I have watched Kelly's vid. and like his style. Only thing for me would be getting them to sink quickly enough.

Allen, your bead heads will work well for that. I've used some lead wire in the...

Byron.

Wish I'd never watched that! Man, it looked really nice.

In reality, with the 3 vises (all for a purpose + plain lust!) I have now and the little I actually need to tie for the amt....
