Luke1049 0 Report post Posted April 26, 2012 Hi there, Been fly fishing about a year and just now getting the fever to learn to tie! In many parts of the world I'm sure folks associate tying flies with the winter months but around here it seems like it might be a good hobby once the temps get over 100 on a frequent basis to my timing is perfect! Learned a lot already just going through all the posts on selecting a vise. If finances allow I'll go with the Dynaking Barracuda, and if not maybe a Traveller or a PEAK vise. glad to be here! Cheers, Luke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mybadhabit 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2012 Hi Luke, welcome to the best tying site on the net. Being a fellow Texan, I think you've got it down, tie in the summer, much better that way. Are you a member of FWFF, if you are really getting into tying, do they sponsor fly tying at the BPS and or Cabela's? It's a great place to pick up some great tips on tying instead of having to make the same beginner mistakes that those before us had to overcome, and a great place to socialize with those that also have the addiction. Best of luck in your tying, and if you want to learn what we here in Dallas have good luck with on LMB in the summer give me a shout. Blane Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
