This idea is not from me. I read this one a other forum. And that is the reason why I asked you if this is true.

Thanks

Take a #18 TMC 100 and tie a flymph on it. Note carefully where the hook is engaged by the vice. Now, take it out and look at it under a microscoipe. See the stress cracks? That WILL break at some point. Suer the hook is sharp and it stays sharp, but it does so becasue it is brittle! Do yourself a favor and switch to plain ordinary Partridge or Mustad hooks and use a file to sharpen them and cut the barb down to a reasonable size before tying your fly.

I think he don't like it:

Has some one experience with the MP Vise? I would like to use it as a traveler vise.

Thanks

Thanks from Germany Olaf

I don't know if size 14's & 16 is a good size for framing, but this are the kind of flies I'm looking for! Do you make them Roy?

Andrea

I'm from Germany. No specific region of usage, and no specific notable or celebrity. Only 8 wet and 8 dry. What is the best size for freming? Not to small. The trout flies I mean do not have wire hook eyes or twisted gut eyes like some salmon flies. I thing the name is blind eye hook. Gut snell trout flies like in the book from Mary Orvis Marbury.

Hi I know nothing about flies but looking for a gift. Who can make me 16 trout flies to gut casts for framing. Flies they used around 1920's. 8 dry and 8 wet. How much would it be to make some thing like this.

Also what is the best book for a beginner. How about " Fly tying made clear and simple.
