I have done something similar with 8-1/2 x 11 page protectors. Only I
put in all the materials
needed for a certain fly. Hooks and dubbings are put in small zip loc bags
and then into the
page protector. I label each page and it makes things easier when I
want to tie something

Wes,
This works well, I use 1 gallon plastic zip lock bags. Really makes things
simple. I carry five bags for the five flies I normally tie at shows. I see no
need to carry a load of stuff I will not be using. As for the hooks, I have a
12 compartment box that will cover any hooks I might need.
Mel,
So why do you say that? Is it Wacki-Pedia this time? Please expound. Curious

How does one go about classifying qualifying fly-fishing and all of the
cross-over styles?

I thought the Wikipedia piece was pretty comprehensive, but it had
nothing to do with RULES. If you want to flip a lure on a fly rod, have
at it. However, you'll be able to cast only a very few flies on a
spinning rod and practically none on a bait casting rod unless it's a
giant salt water

I have a general question about vises. Whats the differences between the lower
priced (100 and below) and the higher priced models? I am thinking of
upgrading but dont know if I need to, I have a Danvise and like it, course its
the only one Ive owned so I dont know any different.

Boy, Bob this is really a personal preference type of thing. I started on a
Thompson A vise, then to a Renzetti Traveler and then a Regal. A few years
ago I bought a NorVise. I have tied on a few others. Each seems to have
its particular strength and weakness. If you enjoy your vise, don't

Problem I have is not a lot of places around here have the actual vices to try,

I was just looking for an old Altoid box to ship something, and lo and behold,
two of my Altoid boxes contained flies from previous swaps and one that I glued
velcrow strips in to make a fly box.
What nice present in the middle of the week.

Hi Bob,
What Mike said - try before you buy. That's what I did before I bought my new
vise 10 years or so ago.
But then, if you have a Danvise and like it, why change?
I think that the Danvise is an outstanding vise, especially if you look at the
price tag. IMO the Danvise is better than many
Check out the Vosseler. There is no jaw like it. The base is such that you will
pick up the desk before the vise breaks free of the desk.

I bought the extension arm as soon as they were made available in the U.S.
In fact I think I got a prototype machined from aluminum where yours looks
like molded delrin. The extension made it a much improved vise in my
opinion. I can't find the link anymore, but I recently came across a
My extension arm is metal. The funny little thing comes as default here

have for base) are both accessories. There is a great advantage with that

The Vosseler is a great example of the fact that a vise is highly personal.
Some like it; I did not care for at all.
Two pair of jaws... why? No weight in the base, but a suction cup instead,
which just does not work on many surfaces, and results in an extremely wobbly
vise. Well, *that*

Is the extension arm necessary? I dont have it on mine, but of course I have

No, it isn't necessary. I will say that ignorance is bliss, and if it were
not invented I would still be happily using what came with the Danvise.
Having said that, I think it is a very nice addition, particularly for flies
that have a lot of material that extends behind the hook. It you

One of the reasons I did not care for my Danvise is the lack of space behind
the jaws.. With the extension, I might of liked it better. When I got mine,
there was no extension, I reversed the part that held the jaws that put the
jaws up away from the vise body but this let the jaws rotate
I guess the main consideration is are we using an artificial fly or a fly
casting lure?
