Green Hornet 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2010 Nice place you have here. I am in South Florida and have been tying simple Clousers and easy foam critters for anything that will bite. We have a pretty nice fishery area here with a lot of fresh water urban ponds that have Bass and Gills and the Indian River Lagoon for salt water fun and the ocean of course. I started out buying tied flies from the local shop and having fun. On my birthday a couple years ago, my daughter bought me a kit that had a cheap travel vise simple tools and a small amount of materials, enough to tie the patterns in the instruction book. A whole lot of fun. I wound up getting a ton of tying materials when I inherited a huge collection of material from a guy that was getting into tying before he passed away. He must have bought 10x whatever he thought he might need of everything. So I have a good stash of material. I put aside the old clamp on vise and splurged on a Dan-vise and some decent tools. I am looking forward to learning from you folks here in the future. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
