Hi,
New here, but I've been reading lurking around a bunch. I've been fly fishing for about 5 years now, and really want to get into tying my own flies. I've searched and read on this forums about all the different vises, and have read reviews from flyfishohio and elsewhere. I've checked out my local shop, but all they carry are Regals and another brand thats out of my price range. Also, they offer a class, but theres no way I'd be able to make it there in time after work - so I'm planning on getting a couple books, and just taking a crack at it myself.
So after researching quite a bit, I think I've narrowed my choices down to an Anvil Apex or a Dyna-King Kingfisher. Theres only about a 30 dollar difference between the two, however, the Dyna-King is local to me, and it makes me feel good supporting a local company. The Anvil seems to be a great vise too with a bunch of support from these forums.
I fish mostly still waters, and mostly for trout if that helps any.
Any input woud be greatly appreciated.
