aaron,
i have the five rivers FT1005-4 and i really like this rod a lot. the line i am using is wf rio gold. take care. otto

sorry but i removed this post after receiving a rather rude private message. i was just showing these items out of interest to others and not claiming anything more than that.

i fish a 10 ft 4 wt dan craft on the south holston, primarily swinging soft hackle flies and for beetle fishing and cannot say enough positive comments concerning this rod. it truly makes a day of mending and casting a joy.

well, i don't know if anyone else does this but i just apply a little dubbing wax to the tying thread and then two small whip finishes or half hitches. out of curiosity does anyone else do this?

hans,
i am left handed, so the vice is always to my right and position it so that it is comfortable for me. thanks for the responses and being new to the forum i will have lots more questions. thanks again. otto

does everyone position their vise to the immediate left or right depending on their dominate hand? just curious is all. i have seen some tyers position the vise directly infront of them, so they can turn the vice and view the fly head on.

thanks all for the response. i wear bifocal nows and will try to buy some reading glasses. guess i need to get use to the fact that i am getting old. i recently went to a fly tying show and observed someone with a magnifying lens and thought it would be hard to work around such a lens. i know this p...

i had a question regarding the use of magnification when tying soft hackle flies and small flymphs. how many use magnification when tying small flies and if you do what type of magnification do you prefer? thanks in advance for your replies and comments. otto

does anyone happen to have an email address for Lawrie Waldron? i am wanting to purchase a Law vice and cannot seem to find an email address for him. any help that you can give me would be much appreciated and thanks in advance. otto
