If you dont have a magnifying glass for your vise, zust go and get one of those magnifying mirriors! place it behind your vise, and it serves a double purpose, you dont have to turn the vise to see the other side of the fly, and it looks 5-10x bigger.

For years I have used one that one side is magnified and the other side a standard mirror. My bench would never be without one. Now as for tying very small flies I still use reading glasses for magnification.
Fishing is at once the ultimate quest, the ultimate joy, the ultimate frustration. And anglers wouldn’t have it any other way.

I wish that I had used a magification lense many years ago and not waited until I actually needed one. It is never too soon. And if you do what it sounds like you are going to do letumgo, well what kind of flowers would you like on your headstone?
