Season end fly swap, everyone welcome.

[Inchlaggan]

Comfort, I find it easier to use that way.

But your question made me ask myself why.
So I checked it out.
It is mechanics.
As the vice is clamped to the edge of the table, when I open the vice the forces are acting towards the table.
Were I to place it the other way up, I'd be pulling against the table clamp, loosening it, and damaging the table.
See, I can talk pish as well.....

Look nice Norm.

I've just finished tying up some little cdc "something and nothings", which did me well on the WoL
at the back end.  Just got to get them in the post now.

They are Regal vices, I have one too.

These seem to be the new designs.

This is the design I have only with the table clamp rather than the pedestal, solid brass

These flies look great. I better get a move on. I'm going through a mayfly phase so I'll tie some goslings for the 3rd swap.

Those look amazing Crawhin. Worth joining in knowing I will get one of those. Fantastic!

[Crawhin]

No worries Clan - looking forward to this one as there are some real proven 'secret weapon' patterns tied by local experts going into all the swaps. All the flees looking good so far.

Cheers,

Ian
