Dear FTF Member,
Support FTF by Subscribing to Hatches Today! 2011 Issue - In Stock
Since 2003 FlyTyingForum.com has grown from a handful of people to 30,000 registered members and has become the largest fly tying community in the world. In 2007 I published the first issue of Hatches because I felt the FTF community could offer a printed magazine that far exceeds anything the fly tying world has ever seen published. To this day, Hatches is largely made up of articles submitted to me by FTF member and FTF will continue to play a large role in the future of Hatches. Hatches truly is a grassroots effort, unlike many of the other publications in circulation that have the backing of large media corporations. The future of both Hatches and FTF depends on the support of FTF members like you. For $7 a year, you not only help ensure that I have the resources needed to be able to offer you all of the features you enjoy today free of charge, you also get 96 pages of pure fly tying awesomeness that is worth the price by itself. Click Here for Subscription Info Thank You -Will

Classic case of buyer beware when it comes to Ebay. Would be a wee bit tight for 22 dries.

man, someone spent a lot of time making something that is totally impracticle..... i wonder what someone used it for (i doubt fly tying, i hope at least).


He told us about Christ's disciples being fishermen, and we were left to assume, as my brother and I did, that all first-class fishermen on the Sea of Galilee were fly fishermen and that John, the favorite, was a dry-fly fisherman.

LOL. Yeah, that isn't a fly vise. Man, trying to remember what shop I saw that in use in. Want to say it was a denture shop, but don't think that was it. In the years I've been a UPS driver, I've seen lots of small shops. But know it was something where they'd be holding a couple small things at once. Had a couple different vise clamps (this one shows 2 that can be held at once) so while one thing was drying, they could have another one right there to work on. Common mistake though. A few see something small, and automatically call it a fly vise. A bit too hard core for using with flies.

Anyone have any theories of what that may have been built for, or what someone might be able to do with it.. ?
