viceless fly tying

[Santaaa]

I am use to people discouraging difficult ideas but then what fun would life be without a little difficulty? Plus could you imagine the benefits of learning to tie flies without a vice? I could tie flies while I was fishing. They don't have a very good selection of flies at the tackle shop and I doubt Wal-Mart flies will work very well. I have collected feathers and I figure maybe tie them on with fishing line. I figure try and make it look like a bug on top of the water. It is a little vague but I figure I can make it a bit more complicated I just did not want to post my whole idea. I will figure something out through trial and error. I am going to be saving for a vice and until then I am going to work on coming up with a way to tie them entirely by hand. I was hoping to get into fly fishing so I did not get mad every time I went and lost a lure. Lures are expensive. I could afford a cheap vice but I want to save for a good one as I keep hearing that clamp on vices suck and that you get what you pay for and I am better off saving for a good tool set. I saw one at Cabelas on their web site.
