Excellent Braedon P. Lot's of fun for sure; very satisfying to catch fish on your own flies. Great looking fly vise!
I used to tie flies many years ago, starting at 14 years old with a hackle feather from pillows! I used to get materials from Cabelas back in the 60's when their mail order catalog was about 3/8" thick. Bought lots of stuff from Herters too, including many rod blanks I put together for myself and friends. Best of luck! Joe

Those look great.
I used to enjoy tying flies and fishing. Haven't done either in many years. Still have all the stuff in the basement.

Gave my fly tying goodies to a neighbor kid about 25 years ago. He and his Dad are still using the old Herters vise I gave them. His dad used to collect high quality fly rods and reels. Poor bugger has been battling the Big C for 4 years now, and cant fish much, but the son is a fishin' huntin' fool!
