Hi ae
Thanks for your comments, much appreciated. The Jersey Herd is a lure fished as a wet fly. Can be fished on floating, intermediate or sinking lines. Best on long shank size 8 or 10 hooks.
Happy Fishing

Hi Kent
Thanks for your e-mail. Congrats on the combined effort with your wife to have a daughter. I bet she will wrap you round her little finger!
All I can say to you is ‘DREAM ON’ it sounds better than the real thing.
Must keep it brief we are off on holiday tomorrow and I have not sorted my tackle out yet………I am hoping to get the rod out for a few outings.
Happy Fishing( or dreaming) .
DaveC. and the Team

Hi Bill
Thanks for your comments.
My vice which I have had for about 3yrs now is a Griffin and I am very pleased with it.
Model Patriot Cam vice. It is not cheap but does all that I want.
Rotating jaws. Adjustable jaws and is available with either pedestal or C clamp.
Hope this helps.
Happy fly tying
DaveC.and the Team.

Hello again. How nice to see you “up and about again”. I guess springtime has taken most of your time, either fishing or gardening. However I see that you’ve managed to find time to modify your website with a new “theme”. How nice….. It’s much easier to navigate now (not that it was that difficult before, but nevertheless….).
Being a father for the third time, this January, has taken all my time and energy (it was a girl this time, hehe) so there has been no fishing for me. I miss fishing so much,that I’ve started dreaming about fishing in my sleep. So now my spouce and I have decided that it cannot wait any longer. Still I must say, that those “fishing adventures asleep” actually have been quite pleasant. One night I dreamt of a fine hardfighting 6-pound brownie that I caught on my 4-weight in a stream, and the following day, I was as exited as if it had been for real. I must admit it…. I’m a “fishing addict”. I must learn to deal with the fact, that there’s absolutely no cure at all. But then again, who wants to be cured of this???
I’m looking forward to your next fly.
Best regards from the addicted dane

Thanks David for the wonderful lesson. My question for you is, What Vise do you use for tying? is it a rotary style? Thanks for your consideration.

Regards,

Bill
