Mike G Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Here is a nice simple video on some basic fly tying considerations. http://midcurrent.com/videos/fly-tying-think-like-a-surgeon/ My comments: I am impressed with this guy's gear. That desk top Dyna-King Indexer vise costs close to $500. And I am sure that his scissors and other hardware are prime stuff also. So I have to add that tying does not have to be that expensive. A Dan Vise that cost less than $90 will serve exceptionally well as a vise. The tip about using different scissors for cutting materials is great. I would add that I will use Fiscar scissors left over from when the kids were in grade school for that task. Finally, I will add that I am surprised that the author did not mention gloves since the analogy is surgery. My tip is to get a box of food service gloves in your size. You only have to superglue your fingers together once to be convinced how good this tip is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
