Deb, No I don't. I wish I could though. John Betts once did an article in Fly Tyer magazine about putting together a small, portable tying kit. To make it as light as possible he showed how to tie without a vise. The fly tying book written by Henn also tells how to tie by hand. For most of history people have tied without a vise. The Flydresser Presentation website shows some classic salmon flies tied by hand. For me it would be an added challenge which I don't need just yet (understatement). Bill

Bill Are you saying you tie your classic salmon flies by hand with out the use of a vise? Curious minds want to know.

Don, I like it when I want to really crank out some flies. For flies that are tied "in the round" like a Woolly Bugger; the speed and precision are unbeatable. The machine made look might not appeal in a classic salmon fly where tied in the hand without any vise is considered the peak of the art.

Went to the Midwest fly fishing show this Sunday and got to meet Norm Norlander and the Nor-Vise, Does anybody have one and do you like it or what is your opinion on it.
