Fly Tying Vises

Notices Things Wanted
1

I recently met a few of our Junior Members ( young fly tyers and Fly Fishermen ) in the Chat Room. Mostly self-taught and very impressive kids. Most can only dream of that upgraded vise and the wanted materials list is also just a dream for many of them.

Many of you may still have that old vise or vises somewhere packed away. I would like to ask for donations of your old vises, tools and Hooks. Materials in packages would also be appreciated. I would like to establish a small collection of these items, to be offered to kids in FAOL and make these gifts available to our future tyers.

Perhaps we will ask them for a short essay on what fly tying/fly fishing means to them.

Are you able to help? Kindly PM with donations or questions. Thank you

Thank you for your generosity!!! Received 3 beginners vises from [b]ronhenry123[/b] and today a big box of materials arrived from [b]cheffy[/b] another wonderful FAOL Member.

I will be putting together 3 starter kits and will need 3 each of the following:
Bobbins, threads, scissors, bodkins, whip finishers, head cement, oval tinsel, 4 strand floss fly tying books and any good materials or tools, vises that you can spare.

You don’t need to be a teenager to take part in this. If you would like to start tying and find yourself with a financial situation at the moment…perhaps we can help. Just send a Private Message to [b]DaveMac[/b] and tell me what you need.

Today a large package of fly tying materials arrived from FAOL Member [b]melk[/b] . He followed up with an email that he found some more turkey feathers for the new tyers. Thank you so very much for your generosity

Today I sent out the first of our Fly Tying Kits to an FAOL adult with interests in Saltwater tying. I was able to put together a donated Vise, Book: Introduction to Saltwater Fly Tying by Sanchez, a Dr. Slick pair of scissors, bobbin, Sally Hansen’s Hard as Nails and a nice assortment of Saltwater Fly Tying Materials. I was unable to provide Flymaster thread and saltwater hooks, but what was sent will surely be appreciated. Thank you to those that have and will continue to contribute to this worthy project.
