I love the look of the grip hook on this fly. Must try to pick up a few. By the way is that a Law vice holding it? got one on order.
Often I have been exhausted on trout streams, uncomfortable, wet, cold, brier scarred, sunburned, mosquito bitten, but never, with a fly rod in my hand have I been in a place that was less than beautiful.

SD,

Is it a LAW vise holding the hooks for my photographs? Not a LAW vise, no, but in actual fact you are not totally wrong 8-) as they are small spring loaded clips (I have fine point for trout size flies, and a beefier version for larger hooks) which Lawrence made for me for the purpose holding the flies for me to photograph.

You will love your ordered vise once you have it in your hands. Congrats :P

Cheers,
Hans W

I will give everyone a detailed overview from this old tier. Looking forward to a new toy. Unfortunately it's a 6 to 9 months waiting period. I have patience. :D
