Deb; Thanks for the great links there is some real good stuff there.I will look into the tying clubs, that sounds like a good way to both meet people and see some great ties. One good question is what is a good vise for these large flies? I am using a Anvil apex vise right now that cannot hold the big hooks, I'm in the Tom Nixon swap and the #2 I'm tying on is probably the largest hook this vise will hold. Can I get a decent large hook vise for a reasonable amount of cash?
