George Grant Stonefly

Mr Tucker did nice work on that fly.  I have a friend that just showed me two that he tied as well as 2 that he purchased from George Grant. He took a tying class from Mr Grant in Montana some years ago. Very cool process. Way above my skillset.

dry lube.

I might have to try that or the silicone.

push collet design.

Thanks! That was a great explanation. I don't want it to get stuck closed or damage anything. There is a lot of pressure on those jaws.

renzetti traveler

That's what I actually use most of the time right now. Great simple tool for the job.  I have had it for 15 years and it works well. But I really want a Renzetti Master Vise!

Regal

Those are great vises. That's the first vise I ever used. It was the "house" vise at a local fly shop.

I’ve never put a drop of oil or grease or any kind of lubricant on any of my vises

I love that idea. I was just concerned because it is a forced cone. I thought it might bind up. I think I will disassemble it and clean everything off. 

Thank you 

@chugbug27

I had not thought about wax at all. Thank you! 

HI everyone!  Im sure no one remembers but 4 years ago a few of you guys helped me pick my new vise. I ended up with a Dyna King Professional. Great vise. So thank you all again!  When I got it I cleaned all of the marine grease off it and applied petroleum jelly (vaseline). It works but it basically turns into a dark grey/black  goo that leaks out and gets all over stuff. Im wondering what you folks use for your vises? 

Im looking for something nontoxic as my kids use the vises too. 

Any thoughts?

Thank you

wade fishing

I mostly wade fish as well and also use a small fishpond chest rig. I keep other stuff in the truck and just take what I need. I don't get really far from the truck the last few years anyway.

I have been thinking about trying a wading stick. Maybe I won't fall down so much

Been working on a large donation patch of Northern Pike flies for our MGTU fund raiser in Feb 2021.  Here's a couple fresh out of the vice. Tied on 5/0 Owner Straight Shank Worm Hooks.

 

@mikemac1That looks like it would work very well up here in north Idaho! Nice work!

it it a steelhead fly pattern but i have no idea what the name would be

have your friend name it whatever he wants

if it catches fish a name isnt that important

@flytireI think you have a great suggestion here. Thank you for your help!  

HI everyone! A friend of mine emailed me this picture. He told me that he purchased this fly a few years back at a local shop and the guy behind the counter did not know what it was called. My friend said he ties it now but still does not know what it is called.  I have no idea so I told him I would post it here and see if anyone could help us out and tell us what this fly is. He said that its a steelhead pattern thats all he knows. Does anyone know the name of this thing?

Thank you all for your help!
