[black][size 3]I assume that you do not presently tie.[/size][/black]
[size 3]Tying flies is difficult enough to learn, without making it worse.[/size]
[size 3][/size]
[size 3]I guess that a fly can be tied without a vise, I've read about it somewhere, but why make it more difficult?[/size]
[size 3][/size]
[size 3]Even if you were able to get all the material proportations right, you would only be able to tie large flies. [/size]
[size 3][/size]
[size 3]If the cost of a vise is not within your budget, then the cost of materials will kill ya.[/size]
[size 3][/size]
[size 3]I don't mean to rain on your parade, but until you can afford to get into tying, you should buy flies. Believe me, people who tie, don't do it to save money. I've tied for about 40 years, for myself and friends/family, and I would have been hundreds of dollars ahead if I would have bought flies instead.[/size]
