The Fly-Tying Vise?

I thought it over last night and decided to start tying my own flies.
What convinced me is, one of the person's in this group mentioned that
after I get started, I'll probably enjoy doing it. And what better way to
get
advice from the experts in ROFF.
I'm going to start with the vise. ...
I started with a cheap Indian knockoff of the Thompson A.
It works fine and I still have it, you don't have to spend
a lot of money to get something to hold hooks. Having said
that, I use a Regal these days. I like the flat surface on
the Regal for resting my left hand. I don't miss that the
Regal isn't a true rotary but some roffians tell me if I
ever got used to a rotary vise I wouldn't ever use anything
else.
