Chuck, I have one with a flexible arm over my tying desk made especially for vises. You can check it out at http://www.nor-vise.com. I use it in combo with a big magnifying one. Joyce On Thu, Apr 29, 2010 at 10:05 PM, Chuck Alexander chuckalexan...@hughes.net wrote: Has anybody tried to tie

That's why heavy nymphs have been invented. BTW: I sometimes fish for barbels, they definitively feed from the bottom. Bead Head Nymphs are the ticket. They taste like trout Rene -Original Message- Date: Fri, 30 Apr 2010 15:09:59 +0200 Subject: [VFB] QFTD From: Rick Zieger
